The term ‘Barclays PLC Group’ or the ‘Group’ means Barclays PLC together with its subsidiaries and the term ‘Barclays Bank PLC Group’ means Barclays Bank PLC together with its subsidiaries. ‘Barclays’ is used to refer to either of the preceding groups when the subject matter is identical.  The term ‘Parent Company’ or ‘Parent’ refers to Barclays PLC and the term ‘Bank’ or ‘Company’ refers to Barclays Bank PLC.
 
Unless otherwise stated, the income statement analyses compare the six months to 30 June 2013 to the corresponding six months of 2012 and balance sheet comparisons relate to the corresponding position at 31 December 2012. The abbreviations ‘£m’ and ‘£bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of Pounds Sterling respectively; the abbreviations ‘$m’ and ‘$bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of US dollars respectively. 
 
The comparatives have been restated to reflect the implementation of IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 19 Employee Benefits (Revised 2011), the reallocation of elements of the Head Office results to businesses and portfolio restatements between businesses, as detailed in our announcement on 16 April 2013.
 
Relevant terms that are used in this document but are not defined under applicable regulatory guidance or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are explained in the Results glossary that can be accessed at www.barclays.com/results
 
In accordance with Barclays policy to provide meaningful disclosures that help investors and other stakeholders understand the financial position, performance and changes in the financial position of the Group, and having regard to the British Bank Association Disclosure Code, the information provided in this report goes beyond minimum requirements. Barclays continues to develop its financial reporting considering best practice and welcomes feedback from investors, regulators and other stakeholders on the disclosures that they would find most useful.
 
The information in this announcement, which was approved by the Board of Directors on 29 July 2013 does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2012, which included certain information required for the Joint Annual Report on Form 20-F of Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and which contained an unqualified audit report under Section 495 of the Companies Act 2006 and which did not make any statements under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006, have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies in accordance with Section 441 of the Companies Act 2006.
 
 
These results will be furnished as a Form 6-K to the SEC as soon as practicable following their publication. Once filed with the SEC, copies of the Form 6-K will also be available from the Barclays Investor Relations website www.barclays.com/investorrelations and from the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).
 

 

 

 
Intentionally left blank
 
Basis of Preparation
 
 
Barclays Bank PLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Barclays PLC, which is the Group’s ultimate parent company. The consolidated financial statements of Barclays Bank PLC and Barclays PLC are materially the same, with the key differences being that, in accordance with IFRS:
 
—  
Preference shares issued by Barclays Bank PLC are included within share capital and share premium in Barclays Bank PLC, but presented as non-controlling interests in the financial statements of Barclays PLC Group.
 
—  
Certain issuances of capital notes by Barclays Bank PLC are included within other shareholders’ equity in Barclays Bank PLC, but presented as non-controlling interests in the financial statements of Barclays PLC Group.
 
—  
Barclays PLC shares held for the purposes of employee share schemes and for trading are recognised as available for sale investments and trading portfolio assets respectively within Barclays Bank PLC. Barclays PLC deducts these treasury shares from shareholders equity.
 
—  
The Group has made two issuances of contingent capital notes (CCNs). These were both issued by Barclays Bank PLC and pay interest and principal to the holder unless the consolidated CET 1 ratio of Barclays PLC falls below 7% for both issuances, in which case they are cancelled from the consolidated perspective. The coupon payable on the CCNs is higher than a market rate of interest for a similar note without this risk.
 
The accounting for these instruments differs in the consolidated financial statements of Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC as follows:
 
-  
In the case of the first CCN issuance, the cancellation is effected by an automatic legal transfer from the holder to Barclays PLC. In these circumstances, Barclays Bank PLC remains liable to Barclays PLC. Barclays Bank PLC does not benefit from the cancellation feature although it pays a higher than market rate for a similar note, and therefore the initial fair value of the note recognised was higher than par. The difference between fair value and par is amortised to the income statement over time.
 
-  
In the case of the second CCN issuance, the cancellation is directly effected in Barclays Bank PLC. To Barclays Bank PLC, the cancellation feature is separately valued from the host liability (see accounting policy 15 on page 253 of the Barclays PLC 2012 Annual Report) as an embedded derivative with changes in fair value reported in the income statement. The initial fair value of the host liability recognised was higher than par by the amount of the initial fair value of the derivative and the difference is amortised to the income statement over time.
 
More extensive disclosures are contained in the Barclays PLC Results Announcement for the period ended 30 June 2013, attached, including risk exposures and business performance, which are materially the same as those for Barclays Bank PLC.
 
These consolidated interim financial statements do not comprise the Barclays Bank PLC Group’s statutory accounts. The Barclays Bank PLC Group’s statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2012, on which the auditors issued an unmodified audit opinion, have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.
 
Accounting Policies
 
The Results Announcement has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as those used in the 2012 Annual Report, except for the following accounting standards which were adopted by Barclays Bank PLC Group on 1 January 2013:

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements

IFRS 10 replaced requirements in IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and SIC 12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. This introduced new criteria to determine whether entities in which Barclays Bank PLC Group has interests should be consolidated. The implementation of IFRS 10 resulted in Barclays Bank PLC Group consolidating some entities that were previously not consolidated and deconsolidating some entities that were previously consolidated, principally impacting the consolidation of entities in the Investment Bank with credit market exposures.

IAS 19 Employee Benefits (Revised 2011)

IAS 19 (Revised 2011), amongst other changes, requires actuarial gains and losses arising from defined benefit pension schemes to be recognised in full. Previously Barclays Bank PLC Group deferred these over the remaining average service lives of the employees (known as the ‘corridor’ approach).
 
Comparatives have been fully restated for these standards in accordance with their transition requirements. IFRS 10 only requires the presentation of restated comparatives for the period immediately prior to the first period of application.  

The Group published a restatement document on 16 April 2013 describing the financial impacts of IFRS 10 and IAS 19.

 
Basis of Preparation
 
The financial impact on Barclays Bank PLC Group for the year ended 31 December 2012 had IFRS 10 and IAS 19 been adopted is shown in the table below:

—  
The positive financial impact of adopting IFRS 10 on Barclays Bank PLC Group’s results for the year ended 31 December 2012 principally reflects an increase in trading income and a reduction in impairment in the Investment Bank. However, there is a cumulative reduction in total shareholders’ equity at 31 December 2012 of £477m as previously disclosed in the 2012 Barclays Bank PLC Annual Report.
 
—  
Following the adoption of IAS 19, retirement benefit assets reduced by £2.3bn and retirement benefit liabilities increased by £1.0bn as at 31 December 2012, with additional deferred tax assets recognised of £0.8bn, of which £0.4bn has been recognised in deferred tax assets and £0.4bn in deferred tax liabilities. As a result total assets reduced by £1.8bn and total liabilities increased by £0.7bn. Profit after tax for the period reduced by £22m with other comprehensive income lower by £2.4bn, resulting in a £2.5bn reduction in shareholders’ equity.
 
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
 
IFRS 13 provides comprehensive guidance on how to calculate the fair value of financial and non-financial assets. The adoption of IFRS 13 did not have a material financial impact on Barclays Bank PLC Group.

Future Accounting Developments

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 will change the classification and therefore the measurement of its financial assets, the recognition of impairment and hedge accounting. In addition to these changes, the portion of gains and losses arising from changes in the Group’ s credit rating included in changes in the value of Barclays Bank PLC Group issued debt securities held at fair value through profit or loss will be included in other comprehensive income rather than the income statement. The proposals have yet to be finalised and it is therefore not yet possible to estimate the financial effects. The current effective date is 1 January 2015, but may be delayed.

For more information on future accounting changes, refer to the Barclays Bank PLC 2012 Annual Report.
 
Going Concern
 
Barclays Bank PLC Group's business activities and financial position, the factors likely to affect its future development and performance, and its objectives and policies in managing the financial risks to which it is exposed and its capital are discussed in the Results by Business, Performance Management and Risk Management sections of the Barclays PLC Interim Results Announcement.
 
The Directors confirm that they are satisfied that Barclays Bank PLC Group has adequate resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future.  For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis for preparing accounts.
 
Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities
 
The Directors confirm to the best of their knowledge that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements set out on pages 5 to 10 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, as adopted by the European Union, and that the interim management report herein includes a fair review of the information required by Disclosure and Transparency Rules 4.2.7 and 4.2.8 namely:
 
—  
an indication of important events that have occurred during the six months ended 30 June 2013 and their impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year; and
 
—  
material related party transactions in the six months ended 30 June 2013 and any material changes in the related party transactions described in the last Annual Report.

Independent Auditors’ Review Report to Barclays Bank PLC
 
Introduction

We have been engaged by Barclays Bank PLC to review the condensed set of consolidated interim financial statements in the interim results announcement for the six months ended 30 June 2013, which comprises the Condensed Consolidated Income Statement, Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and other Comprehensive Income, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Condensed Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and related notes. We have read the other information contained in the interim results announcement and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
 
 Directors’ Responsibilities1,2

The interim results announcement is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the Directors. The Directors are responsible for preparing the interim results announcement in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

As disclosed in the ‘Accounting Policies’ section, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in this interim results announcement has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the European Union.
 
 Our Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in the interim results announcement based on our review. This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the company for the purpose of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and for no other purpose. We do not, in producing this report, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.
 
 Scope of Review
 
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, ‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity’ issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
 
 Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in the interim results announcement for the six months ended 30 June 2013 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

Notes
 
The term Barclays or Group refers to Barclays PLC together with its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise stated, the income statement analysis compares the six months to 30 June 2013 to the corresponding six months of 2012 and balance sheet comparatives relate to 31 December 2012. The abbreviations ‘£m’ and ‘£bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of Pounds Sterling respectively; the abbreviations ‘$m’ and ‘$bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of US Dollars respectively; ‘€m’ and ‘€bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of Euros respectively; and ‘C$m’ and ‘C$bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of Canadian Dollars respectively.
 
The comparatives have been restated to reflect the implementation of IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 19 Employee Benefits (Revised 2011), the reallocation of elements of the Head Office results to businesses and portfolio restatements between businesses, as detailed in our announcement on 16 April 2013.
 
Adjusted profit before tax and adjusted performance metrics have been presented to provide a more consistent basis for comparing business performance between periods. Adjusting items are considered to be significant and not representative of the underlying business performance. Items excluded from the adjusted measures are: the impact of own credit; gains on debt buy-backs; impairment and disposal of the investment in BlackRock, Inc.; the provision for Payment Protection Insurance redress payments and claims management costs (PPI redress); the provision for interest rate hedging products redress and claims management costs (interest rate hedging products redress); goodwill impairments; and losses and gains on acquisitions and disposals. The regulatory penalties relating to the industry-wide investigation into the setting of interbank offered rates were not excluded from adjusted measures.
 
Relevant terms that are used in this document but are not defined under applicable regulatory guidance or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are explained in the Results glossary that can be accessed at www.Barclays.com/results.
 
In accordance with Barclays’ policy to provide meaningful disclosures that help investors and other stakeholders understand the financial position, performance and changes in the financial position of the Group, and having regard to the British Bank Association Disclosure Code and the Enhanced Disclosure Task Force recommendations, the information provided in this report goes beyond minimum requirements. Barclays continues to develop its financial reporting considering best practice and welcomes feedback from investors, regulators and other stakeholders on the disclosures that they would find most useful.
 
The information in this announcement, which was approved by the Board of Directors on 29 July 2013 does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2012, which included certain information required for the Joint Annual Report on Form 20-F of Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and which contained an unqualified audit report under Section 495 of the Companies Act 2006 and which did not make any statements under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006, have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies in accordance with Section 441 of the Companies Act 2006.
 

 
Forward-looking statements
 
This document contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to certain of the Barclays Group’s (the Group) plans and its current goals and expectations relating to its future financial condition and performance. Barclays cautions readers that no forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance and that actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements sometimes use words such as “may”, “will”, “seek”, “continue”, “aim”, “anticipate”, “target”, “projected”, “expect”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “goal”, “believe”, “achieve” or other words of similar meaning. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding the Group’s future financial position, income growth, assets, impairment charges and provisions, business strategy, capital ratios, leverage, payment of dividends, projected levels of growth in the banking and financial markets, projected costs, commitments and targets in connection with the Transform Programme, estimates of capital expenditures and plans and objectives for future operations and other statements that are not historical fact. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances.  These may be affected by changes in legislation, the development of standards and interpretations under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), evolving practices with regard to the interpretation and application of standards, the outcome of current and future legal proceedings and regulatory investigations, future levels of conduct provisions, the policies and actions of governmental and regulatory authorities, geopolitical risks and the impact of competition. In addition, factors including (but not limited to) the following may have an effect: prudential capital rules applicable to past, current and future periods; UK domestic, Eurozone and global macroeconomic and business conditions; the effects of continued volatility in credit markets; market related risks such as changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates; changes in valuation of issued notes; volatility in capital markets, particularly as it may affect the timing and cost of planned capital raisings, changes in credit ratings of the Group; requirements regarding capital and Group structures; the potential for one or more countries exiting the Eurozone; the ability to implement the Transform Programme and the success of future acquisitions, disposals and other strategic transactions.  A number of these influences and factors are beyond the Group’s control. As a result, the Group’s actual future results, dividend payments, and capital and leverage ratios may differ materially from the plans, goals, and expectations set forth in the Group’s forward-looking statements.
 
Any forward-looking statements made herein speak only as of the date they are made. Except as required by the Prudential Regulation Authority, the Financial Conduct Authority, the London Stock Exchange plc (the LSE) or applicable law, Barclays expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in Barclays expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. The reader should, however, consult any additional disclosures that Barclays has made or may make in documents it has published or may publish via the Regulatory News Service of the LSE and/or has filed or may file with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
 

Performance Highlights
 
Performance Highlights
 

—  
Adjusted profit before tax was down 17% (£748m) to £3,591m, driven by costs to achieve Transform of £640m
 
—  
Statutory profit increased £806m to £1,677m, including a £1,350m (2012: £300m) provision relating to PPI redress, a £650m (2012: £450m) provision relating to interest rate hedging products redress and an own credit gain of £86m (2012: charge of £2,945m)
 
—  
Adjusted return on average shareholders’ equity decreased to 7.8% (2012: 10.6%) principally reflecting costs to achieve Transform. Statutory return on shareholders’ equity increased to 2.6% (2012: 0.6%)
 
—  
Adjusted income decreased 3% to £15,071m, with income growth across the majority of businesses offset by cost of funding deposit growth across the Group
 
—  
Investment Bank income was stable at £6,473m driven by increases in Equities and Prime Services and Investment Banking, offset by a decrease in Fixed Income, Currency and Commodities (FICC) income
 
—  
Credit impairment charges were down 5% to £1,631m, reflecting improvements in  Corporate Banking and Africa RBB, partially offset by increases in Barclaycard, UK RBB, Wealth and Investment Management and Europe RBB
 
—  
Adjusted operating expenses were up 3% (£261m) to £9,781m, reflecting costs to achieve Transform of £640m, principally related to restructuring costs in Europe RBB and the Investment Bank. The adjusted cost: income ratio increased to 65% (2012: 61%) largely due to costs to achieve Transform. Excluding costs to achieve Transform, the Investment Bank compensation: income ratio was 38% (2012: 40%)

—  
Core Tier 1 ratio increased to 11.1% (2012: 10.8%) principally reflecting capital generated through earnings and the exercise of warrants offset by dividends paid
 
—  
Total assets increased to £1,533bn (2012: £1,488bn), principally reflecting increases in reverse repurchase agreements and other similar secured lending, growth in loans and advances and an increase in available for sale investments.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in derivative assets
 
—  
Total liabilities increased to £1,473bn (2012: £1,428bn) primarily due to higher than expected deposit inflows, resulting in a decrease in the loan: deposit ratio from 110% to 102%
 
—  
Net asset value per share of 397p (2012: 414p) and net tangible asset value per share of 336p (2012: 349p) reflecting an increase in shares issued, including the exercise of warrants

The comparatives on pages 3 to 43 have been restated to reflect the implementation of IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 19 Employee Benefits (Revised 2011), the reallocation of elements of Head Office results to businesses and portfolio restatements between businesses, as detailed in our announcement on 16 April 2013, accessible at http://group.barclays.com/about-barclays/investor-relations/investor-news
 
Chief Executive’s Statement
 
“In February, we outlined our Transform plan to become the ‘Go-To’ bank. As part of Transform, we set out a number of financial commitments, including in relation to capital, to be achieved by the end of 2015.

As a consequence of the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) review we have had to modify our capital plans, in order to meet the 3% PRA Leverage Ratio target by June 2014. After careful consideration of the options, the Board and I have determined that Barclays should respond quickly and decisively to meet this new target.

The plan is a combination of: a rights issue; prudent reduction of our leverage exposure; issuance of additional tier 1 securities; and the retention of earnings and other forms of capital accretion. We believe this represents the right combination to meet the PRA’s leverage target. It also enables us to maintain our planned lending growth and broader support of our customers and clients.

I am certain the decisive and prompt action we are taking will leave Barclays stronger and our goal of becoming the ‘Go-To' bank even more attainable.

Our first half results demonstrate the strength of our business. We saw good momentum in our performance and - five months on - the execution of our Transform plan is progressing well. Adjusted profit before tax was £3.6bn, excluding an additional £1.35bn charge in respect of PPI redress and an additional £650m for Interest Rate Hedging Products. This takes the total provision Barclays has made for both issues to £5.45bn, of which almost £3bn is unspent, reducing uncertainty for shareholders around these conduct risks. As a result the PRA capital adjustments for the PRA Leverage Ratio no longer include provisions for conduct. 

Cost remains a critical component of our commitments and we expect to accelerate part of the £2.7bn of costs to achieve (CTA) Transform in 2013, having recognised £640m in the first half of the year focused on restructuring and investment in the Investment Bank and Europe Retail and Business Banking.

The CTA have impacted Barclays return on equity of 7.8% in the first half but strategic reduction of the cost base is an important step to achieve sustainable returns over the cost of equity in the medium term. Return on equity, excluding costs to achieve, was 9.5% driven by continued momentum across the businesses and in particular in the Corporate and Investment Bank, Barclaycard and UK Retail and Business Banking.

We continue to make good progress in running down Exit Quadrant business units in a positive way for shareholders; in the first half we reduced estimated CRD IV Risk Weighted Assets by £25.4bn. Our commitment to lend has not faltered and we provided a gross £42bn of lending to UK households and businesses under the Funding for Lending Scheme in the first half of the year.

Our capital position remains a key focus, with an estimated fully loaded CRD IV Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 8.1% as of 30 June 2013. Adjusted for the rights issue this is equivalent to 9.3%. The Board and I expect this ratio to increase during the second half of 2013, with an accelerated achievement of the target 10.5% fully loaded CET1 ratio by early 2015.

We remain committed to our Purpose of helping people achieve their ambitions, in the right way – and the Values that underpin it. To this end, I am pleased to say that 95% of our colleagues have now attended a half day Values workshop and we will be launching our Balanced Scorecard across the Senior Leadership Group in the second half of 2013 to measure our progress. This is a new approach to how we measure and report our performance and will be critical to our success in the future.

It is early days, and there is a long way to go, but I’m pleased with our progress and confident that we are on track to become the ‘Go To’ bank.”

Group Finance Director’s Review
 
Income Statement
 
—  
Adjusted profit before tax decreased 17% to £3,591m, driven by costs to achieve Transform of £640m in H113
 
—  
Statutory profit increased £806m to £1,677m, including a £1,350m (2012: £300m) provision relating to PPI redress, a £650m (2012: £450m) provision relating to interest rate hedging products redress and an own credit gain of £86m (2012: charge of £2,945m)
 
—  
Adjusted return on average shareholders’ equity decreased to 7.8% (2012: 10.6%) while statutory return on average shareholders’ equity increased to 2.6% (2012: 0.6%)
 
—  
Adjusted income decreased 3% to £15,071m largely due to the margin achieved on higher than expected growth in deposits across the Group. Non-recurring gains of £235m in relation to hedges on employee share awards in Head Office in Q112 was offset by a fair value adjustment of £259m in the Investment Bank primarily as a result of greater certainty regarding the recoverability of certain assets not yet received from the 2008 US Lehman acquisition
 
—  
Investment Bank income was stable at £6,473m including increases in Equities and Prime Services and Investment Banking, partially offset by a decrease in Fixed Income, Currency and Commodities (FICC) given strong performance in H112. Income decreased 13% from Q113 to Q213 to £3,010m due to the seasonally higher contributions from FICC in Q113
 
—  
Customer net interest income from RBB, Barclaycard, Corporate Banking and Wealth and Investment Management increased 4% to £5,105m. Total net interest income in these businesses increased 2% to £5,628m, as the growth in assets offset the net interest margin decline from 186bps to 177bps
 
—  
Credit impairment charges were down 5% to £1,631m, reflecting improvements in Corporate Banking and Africa RBB, partially offset by increases in Barclaycard, UK RBB, Wealth and Investment Management and Europe RBB
 
-  
Improved impairment performance in wholesale lending reflected lower charges in Corporate Banking in Europe despite the continued challenging nature of economic conditions in that region
 
-  
Higher charges in retail businesses principally reflected an increase in South Africa Card portfolios in Barclaycard, which included the impact of recent acquisitions, and increased impairment in UK RBB principally due to the non-recurrence of provision releases in 2012
 
—  
The annualised loan loss rate decreased to 63bps (2012: 67bps) compared to a long term average of 91bps
 
—  
Other net expense increased £145m to £68m due to a valuation adjustment of £148m recognised in Europe RBB in respect of contractual obligations to trading partners, based in locations affected by our restructuring plans
 
—  
The statutory effective tax rate on statutory profit before tax was 35.4% (2012: 35.9%) principally due to profits taxed in countries with high local tax rates and non-deductible expenses. The effective tax rate on adjusted profit before tax was 31.3% (2012: 27.4%)
 
—  
Adjusted operating expenses were up 3% to £9,781m, reflecting costs to achieve Transform of £640m
 
-  
Non-performance costs excluding costs to achieve Transform decreased by 3% to £7,865m with the non-recurrence of a £290m charge relating to the setting of inter-bank offered rates in H112
 
-  
Performance costs excluding costs to achieve Transform reduced by 10% to £1,276m
 
 
The adjusted cost: income ratio increased to 65% (2012: 61%) largely due to costs to achieve Transform of £640m. The Investment Bank cost: net operating income ratio decreased 3% to 62% within which the compensation: income ratio was 39% (2012: 40%). Excluding costs to achieve Transform, the Investment Bank compensation: income ratio was 38% (2012: 40%)
 

Group Finance Director’s Review
 
Balance Sheet
 
 
—  
Total assets increased to £1,533bn (2012: £1,488bn), principally reflecting increases in reverse repurchase agreements and other similar secured lending (broadly matched by an increase in repurchase agreements and other similar secured liabilities), growth in loans and advances and an increase in available for sale investments. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in derivative assets (broadly matched by a decrease in derivative liabilities) due to increases in major forward curves and exposure reduction initiatives with central clearing parties
 
—  
Total loans and advances increased to £517bn (2012: £464bn) primarily due to higher settlement balances in the Investment Bank, the acquisition of ING Direct and increased retail lending in UK RBB and Barclaycard
 
—  
Total shareholders’ equity including non-controlling interests, was £60.1bn (2012: £60.0bn). Excluding non-controlling interests, shareholders’ equity increased £0.5bn to £51.1bn. This reflects a £1.5bn increase in share capital and share premium including the exercise of warrants, and increase of £0.8bn in currency translation reserves, partially offset by  a decrease in cash flow hedge reserve of £1.1bn and dividends paid of £0.6bn
 
—  
Net asset value per share was 397p (2012: 414p) and the net tangible asset value per share 336p (2012: 349p). The decrease was mainly attributable to an increase in shares issued, including the exercise of warrants
 
—  
Adjusted gross leverage was 20x (2012: 19x).  Excluding the liquidity pool, adjusted gross leverage was 17x (2012: 16x)
 
—  
During H113 the Group’s net on-balance sheet exposures to Spain, Italy, Portugal, Ireland, Cyprus and Greece decreased to £57.2bn (2012: £59.3bn)
 

Capital Management
 
—  
The Core Tier 1 ratio strengthened to 11.1% (2012: 10.8%)
 
—  
Core Tier 1 capital increased by £1.2bn to £42.9bn principally due to the exercise of outstanding warrants of £0.8bn and foreign currency movements of £0.5bn. Capital generated from earnings absorbed the impact of dividends paid
 
—  
RWAs were stable at £387bn, primarily driven by business activity risk reductions of £11.0bn, including Exit Quadrant RWAs, offset by foreign currency movements of £7.1bn and methodology changes of £4.2bn. On a CRD IV basis, Exit Quadrant RWAs reduced by £25.4bn
 
—  
Barclays estimated transitional CRD IV Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio assuming the final rules were applied as at 30 June 2013 is approximately 10.0%. The estimated fully loaded CET1 ratio is approximately 8.1%
 
—  
In April 2013, Barclays issued a further $1.0bn of Tier 2 contingent capital notes and repurchased existing Tier 2 instruments for a similar amount, as a step in transitioning towards its future CRD IV capital structure. Barclays also obtained authority, from shareholders, to issue Equity Conversion Notes (ECNs) and/or shares on conversion or exchange of ECNs
 

Group Finance Director’s Review
 
Funding and Liquidity
 
—  
The Group maintained a strong liquidity position throughout H113 as it managed down its internal surplus whilst remaining within internal and regulatory requirements. As at 30 June 2013, the Group estimates the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) at 111% (2012: 126%) and the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) at 105% (2012: 104%) based upon the latest standards published by the Basel Committee
 
—  
Consistent with optimising the surplus to internal and regulatory stress requirements, the Group liquidity pool as at 30 June 2013 reduced to £138bn (2012: £150bn). During H113, the month end liquidity pool ranged from £138bn to £157bn (2012: £150bn to £173bn)
 
—  
As a result of strong growth of customer deposits in UK RBB, Corporate Banking, and Wealth and Investment Management, the loan to deposit ratio for the Group improved to 102% as at 30 June 2013 (2012: 110%) and the ratio for RBB, Barclaycard, Corporate Banking and Wealth and Investment Management businesses, improved to 94% (2012: 102%)
 
—  
Strong growth in customer deposits and continued reduction in legacy assets reduced wholesale funding needs. In addition, a significant portion of the Group’s 2013 term funding needs were pre-funded in 2012. As a result, term issuance in H113 was fully offset by buybacks
 
—  
Total wholesale funding outstanding (excluding repurchase agreements) also reduced as at 30 June 2013 to £217bn (2012: £240bn). Term funding maturities for 2013 were £18bn of which £7bn remains outstanding
 

Group Finance Director’s Review
 
Other Matters
 
—  
As part of its review of the capital adequacy of major UK banks, the PRA introduced a minimum 3% PRA Leverage Ratio¹ target. Barclays discussed a number of options with the PRA to meet the 3% PRA Leverage Ratio target, following which Barclays was asked to submit a plan to achieve a 3% PRA Leverage Ratio the target by 30 June 2014
 
         Following careful consideration of a number of options, Barclays plans to meet this target through a combination of a rights issue, CRD IV leverage exposure reduction, the business as usual issuance of contingent capital              and retained earnings and other capital accretion
 
—  
The provision in respect of Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) has been increased by £1,350m, bringing the cumulative expense recognised to £3,950m. The monthly volume of claims received has declined by 46% since the peak in May 2012, although the rate of decline has been less than previously expected. Consequently the future level of expected complaints has been increased to reflect the slower rate of decline. With the overall increase in volume of expected complaints, expectations on the number of complaints which are likely to be referred to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) have been revised upwards. As a result an additional provision of £1.35bn was recognised as at June 2013 to reflect these updated assumptions including a provision for operational costs through to December 2014  
 
The resulting provision represents Barclays’ best estimate of all future expected costs of PPI redress. However, it is possible the eventual outcome may differ from the current estimate and if this were to be material a further provision will be made, otherwise any residual costs will be handled as part of normal operations
 
—  
The provision in respect of interest rate hedging product redress has been increased by £650m, bringing the cumulative expense recognised to £1.5bn. As at 31 December 2012, an expense of £850m had been recognised, reflecting our best estimate of redress costs to customers categorised as non-sophisticated and related costs. This was based on an extrapolation of the results of an initial pilot review. During 2013, additional cases have been reviewed providing a larger and more representative sample upon which to base our provision. The provision on the balance sheet as at 30 June 2013 is £1,349m reflecting cumulative utilisation of £151m. It is expected that this provision will be sufficient to cover the full cost of completing the redress, however no provision has been recognised in relation to claims from customers classified as sophisticated, which are not covered by the redress exercise, or incremental consequential loss claims from customers classified as non-sophisticated. These will be monitored and future provisions recognised to the extent an obligation resulting in a probable outflow is identified
 
Dividends
 
—  
It is our policy to declare and pay dividends on a quarterly basis. We will pay a second interim dividend for 2013 of 1p per share on 13 September 2013.  The Barclays PLC Scrip Dividend Programme will be offered for the second interim dividend

Outlook
 
—  
We continue to remain cautious about the environment in which we operate and our focus remains on costs, capital, leverage and returns to drive sustainable performance improvements

 
 
Chris Lucas, Group Finance Director

Income Statement – H113 compared to H112
 
—  
Net interest income increased 2% to £1,621m driven by strong mortgage balance growth and contribution from Barclays Direct (previously ING Direct UK, acquired during Q113). Net interest margin was down 11bps to 127bps primarily reflecting reduced contributions from structural hedges
 
–  
Customer asset margin increased 10bps to 118bps reflecting higher customer margin on newly written mortgages. Average customer assets increased 9% to £132.8bn driven by mortgage growth and Barclays Direct
 
–  
Customer liability margin decreased 9bps to 88bps reflecting higher customer deposit rates. Average customer liabilities increased 12% to £124.3bn driven by Barclays Direct and growth in personal customer deposits
 
—  
Net fee and commission income was in line at £567m
 
—  
Other net income includes a £25m gain on acquisition of ING Direct UK

—  
Adjusted profit before tax improved 7% to £632m, while statutory loss before tax was £28m (2012: profit of £292m) due to the provision for PPI redress

Income Statement – H113 compared to H112
 
—  
Income declined 7% to £352m, reflecting actions taken to reduce the volume of new assets written as part of the Transform programme and address the continuing economic challenges across Europe, partially offset by an increase due to foreign currency movements
 
—  
Net interest income was in line at £219m.  Net interest margin was broadly in line at 81bps
 
–  
Customer asset margin remained flat at 47bps, with higher customer lending rates offset by higher funding costs. Average customer assets decreased 3% to £40.1bn
 
–  
Customer liability margin decreased 5bps to 41bps, with higher rates on new deposits partially offset by increased funding rates. Average customer liabilities were down 9% to £14.1bn
 
—  
Net fee and commission income declined 29% to £93m, reflecting lower asset volumes
 
—  
Other net expense increased by £148m due to a valuation adjustment recognised in respect of contractual obligations to trading partners, based in locations affected by our restructuring plans
 
—  
Net premiums from insurance contracts declined 33% to £148m due to discontinuance of certain products leading to a corresponding 32% decline in net claims and benefits to £162m
 
—  
Credit impairment charges increased 14% to £142m due to foreign currency movements and deterioration in recoveries performance within mortgages reflecting current economic conditions across Europe
 
–  
Loan loss rate increased to 70bps (2012: 61bps)
 
–  
Overall 90 day arrears rate increased to 97bps (2012: 94bps)
 
—

—  
Loss before tax increased £561m to £709m, including costs to achieve Transform of £356m and an increase in other net expenses
 
Income Statement – Q213 compared to Q113
 
—  
Loss before tax of £247m (Q113: £462m), mainly reflecting a reduction in operating expenses including restructuring costs to achieve Transform of £356m in Q113, partially offset by an increase in other net expenses
 
Balance Sheet – 30 June 2013 compared to 31 December 2012
 
—  
Loans and advances to customers increased by 2% to £39.8bn, driven by foreign currency movements offset by reduced volumes as part of the Transform programme
 
—  
Customer deposits reduced by 1% to £17.5m, due to customer attrition partially offset by foreign currency movements
 
—  
RWAs increased 6% to £16.7bn primarily driven by foreign currency movements and methodology changes to better reflect the risk of forbearance

Income Statement – H113 compared to H112
 
—  
The average ZAR depreciated against GBP by 13% on H112. The deterioration was a significant contributor to the year on year movement in the reported results, which are in GBP.  Other currency movements were considered insignificant
 
—  
Income declined 9% to £1,352m, driven by foreign currency movements, primarily the depreciation of ZAR, partially offset by prior year fair value adjustments on the commercial property finance portfolio. On a constant currency basis income growth was broadly steady following pressure on transaction volumes in a subdued economic environment
 
—  
Net interest income declined 12% to £733m.  On a constant currency basis, net interest income was broadly stable. Net interest margin was down 12bps to 311bps through a decrease in the customer asset and liability margins
 
–  
Customer asset margin decreased 8bps to 308bps, driven by higher funding costs in South African home loans together with competitor pressure in commercial property finance.  Average customer assets decreased 11% to £28.9bn, driven by the depreciation of ZAR. On a constant currency basis, customer assets, particularly home loans, remained broadly stable
 
–  
Customer liability margin decreased 5bps to 271bps through increased competition and change in product mix. Average customer liabilities decreased 5% to £18.7bn. Excluding foreign currency movements, deposits reflected modest growth
 
—  
Net fee and commission income declined 11% to £478m. On a constant currency basis, net fee and commission income was broadly steady following pressure on transaction volumes through a subdued economic environment
 
—  
Credit impairment charges decreased 34% to £208m, driven in part by foreign currency movements. On a constant currency basis, credit impairment charges reduced due to higher 2012 provisions on the South African home loans recovery book. This decrease was partly offset by deterioration in the South African unsecured lending portfolio, which is due to the challenging economic environment
 
–  
90 day arrears rates on home loans improved to 1.1% (2012: 2.8%)
 
—  
Operating expenses decreased 6% to £935m. On a constant currency basis, costs remained well contained despite inflation in South Africa of 6%
 
—  
Profit before tax increased 16% to £212m, despite currency depreciation, primarily due to higher 2012 provisions on the South African home loans recovery book and prior year fair value adjustments on the commercial property finance portfolio
 
 
Income Statement – Q213 compared to Q113
 
—  
Profit before tax of £131m (Q113: £81m) was driven by lower credit impairment charges in South African home loans coupled with lower claims in the Absa insurance business, partially offset by further depreciation of ZAR in Q213
 
 
Balance Sheet – 30 June 2013 compared to 31 December 2012
 
—  
The closing ZAR depreciated against GBP by 10%. The deterioration was a significant contributor to the movement in the reported results, which are in GBP
 
—  
Loans and advances to customers decreased 8% to £27.6bn, mainly due to foreign currency movements. On a constant currency basis, loans and advances, particularly home loans, were broadly unchanged
 
—  
Customer deposits decreased 7% to £18.2bn, driven by foreign currency movements. On a constant currency basis, deposits were broadly in line
 
—  
RWAs increased 4% to £25.5bn primarily driven by the deterioration in Egypt credit ratings and RWA reallocation across businesses partially offset by foreign currency movements

Income Statement – H113 compared to H112
 
—  
Adjusted income declined to a net expense of £134m (2012: income of £387m), predominately driven by lower margins achieved on funding higher growth in customer deposits across the Group and the non-recurrence of gains related to hedges of employee share awards in Q112 of £235m
 
—  
Operating expenses decreased £74m to £24m, mainly due to the non-recurrence of the £97m penalty arising from the industry wide investigation into the setting of inter-bank offered rates recognised in H112, partially offset by Transform programme costs and the Salz review
 
—  
Adjusted loss before tax increased to £157m (2012: profit of £309m). Statutory loss before tax improved to £71m (2012: £2,409m) including an own credit gain of £86m (2012: charge of £2,945m)
 
 
Income Statement – Q213 compared to Q113
 
—  
Adjusted loss before tax of £104m (Q113: £53m) principally reflecting a decline in total expense net of insurance claims to £100m (Q113: £34m) driven by the impact of growth in customer deposits, partially offset by a gain on debt buy back
 
—  
Statutory profit before tax of £233m (Q113: loss of £304m) included an own credit gain of £337m (Q113: charge of £251m)
 
 
Balance Sheet – 30 June 2013 compared to 31 December 2012
 
—  
Total assets increased 14% to £47.2bn reflecting growth in the liquidity pool bond portfolio, partially offset by a reallocation of liquidity pool assets across the businesses.  This was following a decision in 2013 to reallocate liquidity costs to the businesses
 
—  
RWAs decreased 31% to £3.7bn primarily driven by reallocation of liquidity pool assets to the businesses

Returns and Equity by Business
 
Returns on average equity and average tangible equity are calculated using attributable profit for the period, divided by average allocated equity or tangible equity as appropriate. Average allocated equity has been calculated as 10.5% of average RWAs for each business, adjusted for capital deductions, including goodwill and intangible assets, reflecting the assumptions the Group uses for capital planning purposes. The higher capital level currently held, reflecting Core Tier 1 capital ratio of 11.1% as at 30 June 2013, is allocated to Head Office and Other Operations. Average allocated tangible equity is calculated using the same method but excludes goodwill and intangible assets.

Costs to achieve Transform
 
·  
On 12 February 2013 the Group announced the commencement of a strategic cost management programme targeted at reducing net operating expenditure by £1.7bn by 2015.  The programme is being executed and managed through the delivery of rightsizing, industrialisation and innovation initiatives.  Rightsizing focuses on restructuring the current cost base to match profitable sources of growth; whilst industrialisation and innovation initiatives seek to invest in technology and new ways of working to reduce future operating costs and enhance customer and client propositions

·  
In the first half of the year the Transform investment has focused primarily on rightsizing. We expect the programme to shift towards industrialisation and innovation in the second half of 2013 and in 2014. Part of the total expected £2.7bn of costs to achieve Transform is being accelerated in 2013, having recognised £640m in H113

·  
The material costs within major restructuring initiatives consist of redundancy, reflecting our immediate priorities to rightsize our Europe RBB operations and the Investment Bank’s operations in Asia and Europe

—  
The estimated CRD IV RWAs of the Exit Quadrant businesses decreased £25.4bn to £68.4bn, principally reflecting reductions in Investment Bank asset exposures, particularly in the US Residential and Structured Credit portfolios, combined with optimisation initiatives within the Monoline and Corporate Derivatives and pre-CRD IV Rates portfolio. RWAs in Corporate Banking’s Exit Quadrant portfolios decreased due to asset run down slightly offset by foreign currency movements. RWAs in Exit Quadrant portfolios in Europe RBB remained broadly flat

—  
The Portfolio Assets balance sheet includes previously reported Credit Market Exposures of £6.9bn (2012: £8.8bn), and identified loans, securities, investments and derivative exposure of £32.7bn (2012: £38.0bn) that all generate a return on equity below the cost of equity on a CRD IV basis

—  
The Portfolio Assets balance sheet decreased £7.2bn to £39.6bn driven by net sales and paydowns and other movements of £8.9bn offset by foreign currency movements of £1.6bn and net fair value gains of £0.1bn

—  
Portfolio Assets income of £88m was primarily driven by realised gains on the disposal of US Residential Mortgage exposures. Income was lower than the £415m recorded in H212 largely due to fair value gains on trading assets

—  
Pre-CRD IV Rates Portfolio balance sheet of £280.8bn (2012: £353.8bn) represents the carrying value of derivative assets as reported on the balance sheet. The derivative asset exposure would be £249.5bn (2012: £317.3bn) lower than reported under IFRS if netting were permitted for assets and liabilities with the same counterparty or for which the Group holds cash collateral. Therefore, the net exposure post counterparty netting and cash collateral would be £31.3bn (2012: £36.5bn)

 
1  
Estimated RWAs provide an indication of the potential CRD IV impact using the calculation basis set out on page 51.  June reflects a refinement in allocation methodology for derivatives to better reflect CVA exemptions and the marginal RWA impact of each business.  
 
2  
Corporate Banking Exit Quadrant balance sheet assets in Europe decreased £0.5bn to £3.4bn largely driven by reductions in Spain and Portugal.

RBB, Barclaycard, Corporate Banking and Wealth and Investment Management Net Interest Income (NII)
 
Barclays distinguishes the relative net interest contribution from customer assets and customer liabilities, and separates this from the contribution delivered by non-customer income, which principally arises from Group hedging activities.
 
Customer Interest Income
 
—  
Customer NII increased to £5,105m (2012: £4,891m) driven by an increase in both the customer asset margin and  growth in average customer assets. Customer liabilities grew due to increases in retail savings products and corporate deposits, however, the customer liability margin declined
 
—  
The customer asset margin increased to 2.16% (2012: 2.10%) primarily due to an increase in margin on newly written mortgages in UK RBB and UK lending in Corporate Banking offset by a modest reduction in margin in Barclaycard
 
—  
The customer liability margin decreased to 1.02% (2012: 1.14%) predominantly reflecting increased customer rates on deposit accounts in Corporate Banking and UK RBB
 
Non-customer interest income
 
—  
Non-customer NII decreased to £523m (2012: £617m), reflecting a reduction in the non-customer generated margin. Group hedging activities utilise structural interest rate hedges to mitigate the impact of the low interest rate environment on customer liabilities and the Group’s equity
 
—  
Product structural hedges generated a lower contribution of £433m (2012: £487m), as hedges were maintained in this period of continued low interest rates. Based on current interest rate curves and the on-going hedging strategy, fixed rate returns on product structural hedges are expected to continue to make a significant but declining contribution in H2 2013 and 2014
 
—  
The contribution from equity structural hedges in RBB, Barclaycard, Corporate Banking and Wealth and Investment Management decreased to £149m (2012: £154m) due to the continued low interest rate environment
 
Other Group Interest Income
 
—  
Head Office NII decreased £394m to a net expense of £137m reflecting the cost of funding surplus liquidity due to growth in customer deposits across the Group
 
1  
Product structural hedges convert short term interest margin volatility on product balances (such as non-interest bearing current accounts and managed rate deposits) into a more stable medium term rate and are built on a monthly basis to achieve a targeted maturity profile.
 
2  
Equity structural hedges are in place to manage the volatility in net earnings generated by businesses on the Group’s equity, with the impact allocated to businesses in line with their economic capital usage.
 
 
Performance Management
 
—  
Investment Bank NII decreased to £86m (2012: £364m) primarily due to a reduction in interest income from Exit Quadrant assets
 
Net Interest Margin
 
—  
The net interest margin for RBB, Barclaycard, Corporate Banking and Wealth and Investment Management decreased to 1.77% (2012: 1.86%) reflecting the reduction in contribution from customer liabilities and Group hedging activities. Consistent with prior periods the net interest margin is expressed as a percentage of the sum of average customer assets and liabilities to reflect the impact of the margin generated on retail and commercial banking liabilities
 
—  
The net interest margin expressed as a percentage of average customer assets only declined to 3.44% (2012: 3.88%)
 
—  
Net interest margin and customer asset and liability margins reflect movements in the Group’s internal funding rates which are based on the cost to the Group of alternative funding in the wholesale market. The Group’s internal funding rate prices intra-group funding and liquidity to appropriately give credit to businesses with net surplus liquidity and to charge those businesses in need of wholesale funding at a rate that is driven by prevailing market rates and includes a term premium. The objective is to price internal funding for assets and liabilities in line with the cost of alternative funding, which ensures there is consistency between retail and wholesale sources

Risk Management
 
Overview
 
Barclays has clear risk management objectives, and a well-established strategy and framework for managing risk. The approach to identifying, assessing, controlling, reporting and managing risks is formalised in the Principal Risks Policy, which is implemented through relevant control frameworks. Conduct Risk and Reputation Risk have been re-categorised as Principal Risks in 2013. Further detail on how these risks are managed may be found in the 2012 Annual Report and Accounts
 
 
The topics and associated specific key risks, by Principal Risk, covered in this report are described below:  
 
Principal Risks and Key Specific Risks
 
Topics Covered
Page
Funding Risk
     
 
· Increasing capital requirements or changes to what is defined to constitute capital may constrain planned activities and increase costs and contribute to adverse impacts on earnings
 
· Maintaining capital strength. A material adverse deterioration in the Group’s financial performance can affect the Group’s capacity to support further capital deployment
 
· Changes in funding availability and costs may impact the Group’s ability to support normal business activity and meet liquidity regulatory requirements
 
· Whilst the text for CRD IV has now been issued, significant risks remain both to its implementation and the additional finish applied to each country, e.g. early implementation of leverage ratios
 
 
· Capital resources, risk weighted assets, balance sheet leverage and significant regulatory changes
 
· Liquidity pool and funding structure
 
· Eurozone balance sheet redenomination risk
 
· Impact of CRD IV

Credit Risk
     
 
· Near term economic performance across major geographies is expected to remain subdued, which may lead to material adverse impacts on the Group. The possibility of a slowing of monetary stimulus by one of more governments has increased the uncertainty
 
· The Group could be adversely impacted by deterioration in a country/region as a result of political unrest
 
· Possibility of further falls in residential property prices in the UK, South Africa and Western Europe. The UK interest only portfolio is particularly susceptible to weak property prices
 
· Risk of further draw down of unutilised limits by customers in financial difficulties in our Mortgage Current Accounts
 
· Impact of increased unemployment, rising inflation and potential interest rate rises in a number of countries in which the Group operates could adversely impact consumer debt affordability and corporate profitability
 
· The possibility of increased corporate tax receipts could reduce corporate cash flow for debt serviceability leading to weakening corporate credit quality
 
· Possibility of a Eurozone crisis remains with the risk of one or more countries reverting to a locally denominated currency. This could directly impact the Group should the value of assets and liabilities be affected differently
 
· Impact of potentially deteriorating sovereign credit quality, particularly debt servicing and refinancing capability
 
· Large single name losses and deterioration in specific sectors and geographies and deterioration in the Legacy portfolio
 
 
· Total assets by valuation basis and underlying asset class
 
· Loans and advances to customers and banks
 
· Impairment, potential credit risk loans and coverage ratios
 
· Retail credit risk
 
· Wholesale credit risk
 
· Group exposures to Eurozone countries

Risk Management
 

Market Risk
     
 
· A significant reduction in client volumes or market liquidity could result in lower fees and commission income and a longer time period between executing a client trade, closing out a hedge, or exiting a position arising from that trade
 
· Uncertain interest and exchange rate environment could adversely impact the Group, for example interest rate volatility can impact Barclays net interest margin
 
· Adverse movements between pension assets and liabilities for defined benefit pension schemes could contribute to a pension deficit
 
 
· Analysis Investment Bank’s DvaR
 
· Analysis of interest margins
 
· Retirement benefit liabilities
 
94
 
41
 
119
 
Operational Risk
     
 
· The industry continues to be subject to unprecedented levels of regulatory change and scrutiny in many of the countries in which the Group operates with past business reviews and the new legislation/regulatory frameworks driving heightened risk exposure
 
· The Group is subject to a comprehensive range of legal obligations and is operating in an increasingly litigious environment
 
· Increasing risk of cyber attacks to IT systems both in quantity and sophistication
 
· The Transform agenda is driving a period of significant strategic and organisational change, which in the short term, during implementation, may heighten operational risk exposure
 
 
· Significant litigation matters
 
· Significant competition and regulatory matters
 
122
 
126
 
Reputation Risk
     
 
· Impact on stakeholder trust and subsequent damage to Barclays’ reputation arising from failure or perceived failure to comply with required/stated standards or to behave in accordance with societal expectations.
 
· Cumulative adverse impact on Barclays reputation of legacy governance failures
 
· Adverse impact on Barclays’ reputation and business success due to failure to identify and mitigate emerging reputational issues or events
 
 
· Significant litigation matters
 
· Significant competition and regulatory matters
 
122
 
126
 
 
Conduct Risk
     
 
· Detriment caused to our customers, clients or counterparties or Barclays and its employees arising from risk inherent in:
 
o Business model and strategy
 
o Governance and culture
 
o Product and service design
 
o Transaction services (suitability and sales process)
 
o Customer servicing (post sales process)
 
o Financial crime
 
 
· Significant litigation matters
 
· Significant competition and regulatory matters

·  
The Core Tier 1 ratio increased to 11.1% (2012: 10.8%) reflecting an increase in Core Tier 1 capital of £1.2bn to £42.9bn reflecting:
 
–  
Capital generated from earnings absorbed the impact of dividends paid
 
–  
£0.8bn increase in share capital and share premium due to warrants exercised
 
–  
£0.5bn increase due to foreign currency movements, primarily due to appreciation of Euro and US Dollar against Sterling
 
·  
Total capital resources increased by £1.5bn to £67.3bn.  In addition to the increases in Core Tier 1 capital there was a $1.0bn issuance of Tier 2 Contingent Capital Notes and a £0.6bn increase due to foreign exchange movements, partially offset by £1.2bn of redemptions of dated subordinated liabilities

RWAs remained broadly flat at £387.2bn, reflecting:

·  
Business activity risk reductions leading to a decrease of £11.0bn, due to a reduction of sovereign exposures in the trading book and Exit Quadrant RWAs

·  
Change in risk parameters leading to a decrease of £0.5bn, driven by overall improvements in risk profile and market conditions


·  
Foreign exchange movements increase of £7.1bn, primarily driven by the appreciation of Euro and US Dollar against GBP, partly offset by the depreciation of ZAR
 
·  
Methodology and model changes leading to an increase of £4.2bn reflecting loss given default recalibration and change of regulatory treatment for commercial real estate exposures

Impact of CRD IV

The new capital requirements regulation and capital requirements directive that implement Basel 3 proposals within the EU (collectively known as CRD IV) were finalised and published in the Official Journal of the EU in June 2013 and will be implemented from 1 January 2014. The actual impact of CRD IV on capital ratios may be materially different to the estimates disclosed as there are interpretative issues outstanding and related technical standards have not yet been finalised. This would impact, for example, provisions relating to the scope of application of the CVA volatility charge, the treatment of minority interest and restrictions on short hedges relating to non-significant financial holdings. The actual impact will also be dependent on required regulatory approvals and the extent to which further management action is taken prior to implementation
 
—  
CRD IV includes the requirement for a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 4.5%, a minimum Tier 1 ratio of 6% and a minimum total capital ratio of 8%. There is an additional requirement for a Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB) of 2.5% and Counter-Cyclical Capital Buffer (CCCB) of up to 2.5% to be applied when macroeconomic conditions indicate areas of the economy are over-heating. Barclays working assumption is that the CCCB would be zero if implemented today
 
—  
CRD IV also introduces an additional buffer of up to 2% for Other Systemically Important Institutions (O-SII) that are designated as systemically important at the national level. Globally Systemically Important Institutions (G-SII) are expected to hold a buffer of up to 2.5%, possibly higher. Where a firm is designated both an O-SII and a G-SII the higher buffer will apply. Based on the designation by the Financial Stability Board in November 2012, Barclays expects a G-SII buffer of 2%, resulting in a regulatory target CET1 ratio of 9% including the capital conservation buffer. The G-SII capital buffer will phase in between 2016 and 2019
 
—  
CRD IV also includes the potential for a systemic risk buffer. This buffer could be applied at the Group level or at a subset of the institution, such as a particular portfolio in a given country. If required this buffer would be phased in, providing lead time for the institution to meet the requirements. At the moment, no systemic buffer has been communicated to Barclays
 
—  
Given the phasing of both capital requirements, transitional provisions and target levels in advance of needing to comply with the end state requirements, Barclays will have the opportunity to continue to generate additional capital from earnings and take management actions to mitigate the impact of CRD IV
 
—  
To provide an indication of the potential impact Barclays has estimated RWAs and CET1 ratio on both a transitional and fully loaded basis, reflecting current interpretation of the rules and assuming 2013 is year 1 of the transitional period. As at 30 June 2013, Barclays estimated RWAs on a CRD IV basis are approximately £472bn with a resultant transitional CET1 ratio of approximately 10.0% and a fully loaded CET1 ratio of approximately 8.1%. Further analysis of the impacts are set out on page 50
 
—  
The CRD IV rules include a proposed leverage metric to be implemented by national supervisors initially under a parallel run until 2017 with disclosure from 2015. Based on Barclays interpretation of the final CRD IV text, the Group’s leverage ratio as at 30 June 2013 would be above 3%, allowing for transitional relief to Tier 1 capital. On a fully loaded basis, leverage would be 2.5%. Based on the Basel 3 2010 text the fully loaded leverage ratio would be 2.3%
 
—  
The PRA has communicated its expectation that Barclays meets an adjusted 7% fully loaded CET1 ratio by December 2013 and a 3% leverage ratio by June 2014.  The PRA leverage ratio is calculated on a PRA-adjusted CET1 capital base and using a CRD IV leverage exposure measure
 
—  
Barclays expects to meet the leverage requirements communicated by the PRA and to continue to be in excess of minimum capital ratios on both a transitional and fully loaded basis

Basis of calculation of the impact of CRD IV

CRD IV, models and waivers
 
We have estimated our CRD IV CET1 ratio, capital resources and RWAs based on the final CRD IV text assuming the rules applied as at 30 June 2013 on both a transitional and fully loaded basis. The final impact of CRD IV is dependent on technical standards to be finalised by the European Banking Authority (EBA) and on the final UK implementation of the rules.
 
The impacts assume that all material items in the Internal Model Method application to the PRA are approved and existing waivers, where such discretion is available under CRD IV, will continue.
 
—  
Transitional CET1 capital is based on application of the CRD IV transitional provisions and the PRA (formerly the FSA) guidance on their application. In line with this guidance, adjustments for own shares and interim losses are assumed to transition in at 100%. Other deductions (including goodwill and intangibles, expected losses over impairment and DVA) transition in at 20% in year 1 (except for AFS debt and equity gains which are 0% in the first year), 40% in year 2, 60% in year 3, 80% in year 4 with the full impact in subsequent years.  For the purpose of 30 June 2013 disclosures, the PRA have requested that banks assume 2013 is year 1 of transition.  However, our disclosures of CRD IV impacts in previous announcements have reflected 2014 as the first year of application in line with the actual CRD IV implementation date
 
—  
The PVA deduction is shown as fully deducted from CET1 upon adoption of CRD IV. PVA is subject to a technical standard being drafted by the EBA and therefore the impact is currently based on methodology agreed with the PRA.  The PVA deduction as at 30 June 2013 is £2.1bn gross of tax (December 2012: £1.5bn gross of tax, £1.2bn net of tax), with the increase principally reflecting methodology changes during 2013
 
—  
As at 30 June 2013, net long non-significant holdings in financial entities were £9.3bn. This exceeds 10% of CET1 capital resources, which would result in a deduction from CET1 of £2.5bn in the absence of identified management actions to eliminate this deduction.  The EBA consultation on Technical Standards for Own funds – Part III identifies potential changes to the calculation that are not reflected in the estimate, including the treatment of tranche positions as indirect holdings, the use of notional values for synthetic exposures and the widening of the scope of eligible entities to include Barclays defined pension benefit funds. Depending on the final implementation and further clarification on the application of the proposals, these changes would potentially have a material impact on the calculation of the non-significant holdings deduction
 
—  
The impact of changes in the calculation of allowable minority interest may be different pending the finalisation of the EBA’s technical standards on own funds, particularly regarding the treatment of non-financial holding companies and the equivalence of overseas regulatory regimes. The estimated CRD IV numbers calculate the full impact and transitional capital base on the assumption that the Group’s holding companies will be deemed eligible and their surplus capital due to minority interests consolidated in accordance with CRD IV rules. Our estimated CRD IV fully loaded CET1 capital base includes £1.7bn of minority interests relating to Absa
 
 
RWAs
 
—  
It is assumed that corporates, pension funds and sovereigns that meet the eligibility conditions are exempt from CVA volatility charges
 
—  
It is assumed all Central Clearing Counterparties (CCPs) will be deemed to be ‘Qualifying’. The final determination of Qualifying status will be made by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA)
 
—  
The estimated RWA increase from CRD IV includes 1250% risk weighting of securitisation positions while estimated capital includes an add back of 50/50 securitisations deducted under the current rules
 
—  
Estimated RWAs for definition of default assume that national discretion over 180 days definition of default remains for UK retail mortgages
 
—  
‘Other’ CRD IV impacts to RWAs include adjustments for withdrawal of national discretion of definition of default relating to non UK mortgage retail portfolios, Deferred Tax Assets, Significant Holdings in financial institutions, other counterparty credit risk and other items

RWAs are sensitive to market conditions. The estimated impact on RWAs for all periods reflects market conditions as at 30 June 2013

Implementation of CRD IV – Leverage impacts
 
Barclays already measures and reports adjusted gross leverage as an internal measure of balance sheet leverage based on adjusted tangible assets divided by qualifying regulatory Tier 1 capital. As at 30 June 2013, the Group’s adjusted gross leverage was 20x (see page 54).
 
CRD IV introduces a non-risk based leverage ratio that is intended to supplement the risk based capital requirements, calculated as CRD IV Tier 1 capital divided by CRD IV leverage exposure. Under CRD IV, until a legislative proposal is finalised, following the Commission’s report in 2016, supervisors will monitor leverage ratio levels. From 2015 banks are required to publish their leverage ratios in their Pillar 3 disclosures. A binding limit is due to be established under CRD IV by 2017, prior to which the basis of calculation is expected to be refined and the required limits will be calibrated.
 
Leverage ratio calculation
 
The CRD IV leverage ratios are higher than the adjusted gross leverage ratio, primarily due to the CRD IV ratio excluding netting of settlement balances and of cash collateral against derivatives and including off balance sheet potential future exposures and undrawn commitments, which the adjusted gross leverage ratio (consistent with many other banks’ treatment) does not. The key adjustments to total assets under the CRD IV leverage ratio are as follows:
 
—  
Derivatives netting adjustment: regulatory netting applied across asset and liability mark-to-market derivative positions, pursuant to legally enforceable bilateral netting agreements and otherwise meeting the requirements set out in CRD IV
 
—  
Potential future exposure (PFE) add-on: regulatory add-on for potential future credit exposure on derivative contracts, calculated by assigning a standardised percentage (based on underlying risk category and residual trade maturity) to the gross notional value of each contract. PFE measure recognises some netting benefits, but these are floored at 40% of gross PFE by netting set, regardless of whether a positive or negative mark-to market exists at the individual trade level. Following clarification in the final CRD IV text, exchange traded and cleared OTC derivative exposures are now included in the calculation on a gross basis
 
—  
Securities Financing Transactions (SFT) adjustments:  under CRD IV the IFRS exposure measure for SFTs (eg repo/reverse repo) is replaced with the Financial Collateral Comprehensive Method (FCCM) measure. FCCM is calculated as exposure less collateral, taking into account legally enforceable master netting agreements, with standardised adjustments to both sides of the trade for volatility and currency mismatches. Under Basel 3, SFTs are measured by applying the regulatory netting rules per the Basel 2 framework
 
—  
Undrawn Commitments: regulatory add on relating to off balance sheet undrawn commitments based on a credit conversion factor of 10% for unconditionally cancellable commitments and 100% for other commitments. The rules specify additional relief to be applied to trade finance related undrawn commitments which are medium/low risk (20%) and medium risk (50%). For Barclays, this relief is not estimated to be material
 
—  
Regulatory deductions: items (comprising goodwill and intangibles, deferred tax asset losses, own paper, cash flow hedge reserve, pension assets and PVA) that are deducted from the capital measure are also deducted from total leverage exposure to ensure consistency between the numerator and denominator
 
—  
Other adjustments: includes adjustments required to change from an IFRS scope of consolidation to a regulatory scope of consolidation, adjustments for significant investments in financial sector entities that are consolidated for accounting purposes but not for regulatory purposes, and the removal of IFRS netting for other assets
 
To provide an indication of the potential impact on Barclays, we have estimated our CRD IV leverage ratio as at 30 June 2013.
 
At the PRA’s request, in addition to the CRD IV leverage ratio, Barclays has estimated the fully loaded leverage ratio using the Basel 3 (December 2010) measure of leverage exposure, with additional guidance provided in the July 2012 instructions for the Quantitative Impact Study.  The key difference to the CRD IV basis of preparation is the measurement of SFTs.  Under Basel 3, SFT leverage exposure is calculated as the IFRS measure of exposure after applying regulatory netting rules based on the Basel 2 Framework.  In accordance with the PRA’s request, the capital measure remains as CRD IV Tier 1 capital.

CRD IV leverage exposure increased £85bn as a result of changes in the basis of preparation following the publication of the final CRD IV text on 26 June 2013, reflecting the inclusion of exchange traded and cleared OTC derivatives within the potential future exposure calculation on a gross notional basis, offset by refinements to previous estimates including improvements in both data sourcing and the application of netting
 
—  
Except for the differences in changes in the basis of preparation, CRD IV leverage exposure increased in the first half of 2013 by £61bn primarily due to increased loans and advances, reflecting higher settlement balances, the acquisition of ING Direct UK and increased retail lending

Funding & Liquidity
 
Barclays has a comprehensive Liquidity Risk Management Framework (the Liquidity Framework) for managing the Group’s liquidity risk. The Liquidity Framework meets the PRA’s standards and is designed to ensure that the Group maintains sufficient financial resources of appropriate quality for the Group’s funding profile. This is achieved via a combination of policy formation, review and governance, analysis, stress testing, limit setting and monitoring. Together, these meet internal and regulatory requirements.
 
Liquidity risk is managed separately at Absa Group due to local currency and funding requirements. Unless stated otherwise, all disclosures in this section exclude Absa. For details of liquidity risk management at Absa, see page 62.
 
Liquidity stress testing
 
Under the Liquidity Framework, the Group has established a Liquidity Risk Appetite (LRA), which is measured with reference to the liquidity pool compared to anticipated stressed net contractual and contingent outflows under a variety of stress scenarios. These scenarios are aligned to the PRA’s prescribed stresses and cover a market-wide stress event, a Barclays-specific stress event and a combination of the two. Under normal market conditions, the liquidity pool is managed to be at least 100% of three months’ anticipated outflows for a market-wide stress and one month’s anticipated outflows for each of the Barclays-specific and combined stresses. Of these, the one month Barclays-specific scenario is the most constraining.
 
Since June 2010 the Group has reported its liquidity position against Individual Liquidity Guidance (ILG) provided by the PRA. The Group also monitors its position against anticipated Basel 3 metrics, including the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR). Based on the standards published by the Basel Committee, as at 30 June 2013 Barclays reported ratios in excess of 100% for both of these metrics, with an estimated LCR of 111% (2012: 126%) and an estimated NSFR of 105% (2012: 104%)1,2.
 
As at 30 June 2013, the Group held eligible liquid assets in excess of 100% of net stress outflows for each of the one month Barclays-specific LRA scenario and the Basel 3 LCR:

Barclays plans to maintain its surplus to the internal and regulatory stress requirements at an efficient level. Barclays will continue to monitor the money markets closely, in particular for early indications of the tightening of available funding. In these conditions, the nature and severity of the stress scenarios are reassessed and appropriate action taken with respect to the liquidity pool. This may include further increasing the size of the pool or monetising the pool to meet stress outflows.
 
1  
The methodology for estimating the LCR is based on an interpretation of the published Basel standards and includes a number of assumptions which are subject to change prior to the implementation of the LCR. CRD IV requires a phased-in implementation of the LCR in Europe. As at 1 January 2015, institutions will be required to comply with a 60% LCR. This will increase gradually to 100% by 1 January 2018.
2  
The LCR and NSFR are calculated on a consolidated basis including Absa.
3  
Of the three stress scenarios monitored as part of the LRA, the one month Barclays specific scenario results in the lowest ratio at 111% (2012: 129%). This compares to 137% (2012: 141%) under the three month market-wide scenario and 123% (2012: 145%) under the one month combined scenario.

Liquidity pool
 
The Group liquidity pool as at 30 June 2013 was £138bn (2012: £150bn). During H113, the month-end liquidity pool ranged from £138bn to £157bn (Full Year 2012: £150bn to £173bn), and the month-end average balance was £148bn (Full Year 2012: £162bn). The liquidity pool is held unencumbered and is not used to support payment or clearing requirements. Such requirements are treated as part of our regular business funding. The liquidity pool is intended to offset stress outflows and comprises the following cash and unencumbered assets.

Outstanding wholesale funding includes £56bn of privately placed senior unsecured notes in issue. These notes are issued through a variety of distribution channels including intermediaries and private banks. A large proportion of end users of these products are individual retail investors.
 
In H113, Barclays repaid €1.2bn of funding raised through the European Central Bank’s 3 year LTRO, leaving €7.0bn outstanding as at 30 June 2013 (see page 93 for more detail of local Eurozone balance sheet redenomination risk).  
 
The liquidity risk of wholesale funding is carefully managed primarily through the LRA stress tests, against which the liquidity pool is held. Although not a requirement, the liquidity pool exceeded wholesale funding maturing in less than one year by £45bn as at 30 June 2013 (2012: £48bn).
 
The average maturity of wholesale funding net of the liquidity pool was at least 61 months (2012: 61 months).
 
 
1  
Term funding maturities comprise public benchmark and privately placed senior unsecured notes, covered bonds/asset-backed securities (ABS) and subordinated debt where the original maturity of the instrument was more than 1 year. In addition, at 30 June 2013, £2bn of these instruments were not counted towards term financing as they had an original maturity of less than 1 year.
2  
The composition of wholesale funds comprises the balance sheet reported Deposits from Banks, Financial liabilities at Fair Value, Debt Securities in Issue and Subordinated Liabilities, excluding cash collateral and settlement balances. It does not include collateral swaps, including participation in the Bank of England’s Funding for Lending Scheme. Included within deposits from banks are £6.0bn of liabilities drawn in the European Central Bank’s 3 year LTRO.
3  
Primarily comprised of fair value deposits £5.7bn and secured financing of physical gold £7.4bn.

To manage cross-currency refinancing risk Barclays manages to FX cash-flow limits, which limit the risk at specific maturities
 
Term financing
 
Term issuance in H113 was fully offset by buybacks. Term funding maturities were offset by growth in customer deposits and reduction in legacy assets, while a significant portion of the Group’s 2013 funding needs were pre-funded in 2012.
 
The Group has term funding maturities of £7bn for the remainder of 2013 (2012: full-year 2013 maturities £18bn). As a result of strong deposit growth in H113 and further reduction in legacy assets, term wholesale funding needs are likely to be lower than maturities.
 
In April, Barclays issued $1.0bn of Tier 2 contingent capital notes and repurchased existing Tier 2 instruments for a similar amount, as a transitional step towards its fully loaded CRD IV capital structure.
 
Funding Risk
 
Encumbrance of loans and advances

Barclays issues ABS, covered bonds and other similar secured instruments that are secured primarily over customer loans and advances.  Notes issued from these programmes are also used in repurchase agreements with market counterparts and in central bank facilities. Barclays also utilises loan collateral in central bank facilities in non-securitised form.

As at 30 June 2013, £104bn (2012: £98bn) of customer loans and advances were transferred to asset backed funding programmes or utilised to secure funding from central bank facilities. These assets were used to support £26bn (2012: £27bn) of externally issued notes and a further £25bn (2012: £31bn) of retained notes and non-securitised loan collateral were used in repurchase agreements with market counterparts and at central bank facilities. Inclusive of required over-collateralisation of £14bn, a total of 14% (2012: 17%) of total loans and advances to customers were used to secure external funding via these programmes. Compared to 31 December 2012, the decrease in encumbrance of loans and advances to customers was predominantly driven by increased cash collateral and settlement balances within loans and advances to customers.
 
In addition, the Group had £19bn (2012: £15bn) of excess collateral over minimum requirements within its asset backed funding programmes that were readily available for use to support future secured funding issuance. A portion of retained notes are also available to raise secured funding.

During H113, Fitch affirmed Barclays Bank PLC ratings, whereas DBRS placed the bank under review with negative implications, due to the challenges facing the bank and the industry more generally.
 
 
The below table shows contractual collateral requirements and contingent obligations following one and two notch long-term and associated short-term simultaneous downgrades across all credit rating agencies, which were fully reserved for in the liquidity pool. These numbers do not assume any management or restructuring actions that could be taken to reduce posting requirements.

Beyond these contractual requirements, these outflows do not include the potential liquidity impact from loss of unsecured funding, such as from money market funds or loss of secured funding capacity. However, unsecured and secured funding stresses are included in the LRA stress scenarios and a portion of the liquidity pool is held against these risks.
 
On 2 July 2013, Standard & Poor’s downgraded Barclays Bank PLC long term issuer rating one notch to A (Stable), reflecting its view that risks increased for some large European-based banks operating in investment banking, as a result of tightening regulation and uncertain market conditions. Barclays Bank PLC short term rating was affirmed at A-11. The downgrade was fully reserved for in the liquidity pool and there has been no significant change in deposit funding or wholesale funding. Further one and two notch long-term and associated short-term simultaneous downgrades across all credit rating agencies continue to be fully reserved for in the liquidity pool.
 
Absa Group
 
 
·  
Liquidity risk is managed separately at Absa Group due to local currency, funding and regulatory requirements
 
·  
In addition to the Group liquidity pool, Absa Group held £4bn (2012: £5bn) of liquidity pool assets against Absa-specific anticipated stressed outflows. The liquidity pool consists of South African government bonds and Treasury bills
 
·  
The Absa loan to deposit ratio was 113% (2012: 113%)
 
·  
As at 30 June 2013, Absa had £11bn of wholesale funding outstanding (2012: £12bn), of which £6bn matures in less than 12 months (2012: £6bn)
 
 
1  
The Standard & Poor’s downgrade on 2 July 2013 did not have a significant impact on Barclays’ contractual exposure to downgrades across all credit rating agencies.

—  
Loans and advances to customers and banks at amortised cost net of impairment increased 11%, reflecting:
 
–  
£44.8bn increase to £281.1bn in the wholesale portfolios principally in the Investment Bank, reflecting an increase in settlement balances driven by higher trading volumes
 
–  
£7.3bn increase to £235.4bn in the retail portfolios, driven by increased mortgage lending and the acquisition of ING Direct UK in UK RBB and business growth in Barclaycard, offset by reductions in Africa RBB, principally reflecting currency movements
 
—  
This  growth, combined with lower impairment charges on loans and advances, resulted in a lower annualised loan loss rate of 63bps (30 June 2012: 67bps; 31 December 2012: 70bps)

—  
Gross loans and advances to customers and banks in the retail portfolios increased 3% to £240.1bn during H113 principally reflecting movements in:
 
–  
UK RBB, where a 6% increase to £137.1bn primarily reflected the purchase of ING Direct UK and growth in home loans balances
 
–  
Barclaycard, where an 3% increase to £36.7bn primarily reflected business growth across UK and International businesses
 
–  
 Wealth and Investment Management, where a 7% increase to £2.7bn mainly reflected growth in the Wealth International home loans portfolio
 
—  
The loan impairment charge increased 12% to £1,112m (H112: £994m) principally the result of:
 
–  
Barclaycard increased  25% to £616m reflecting higher charges in South Africa Card portfolios which included the impact of recent acquisitions, and the non-recurrence of provision releases in 2012
 
–  
UK RBB  increased 46%  to £178m primarily due to provision releases in 2012 as a result of improved recoveries in consumer lending and resolution of backlogs in litigation in home loans
 
–  
Europe RBB increased 14% to £142m due to foreign currency movements and deterioration in recoveries performance within mortgages reflecting current economic conditions across Europe
 
—  
Higher overall impairment charges coupled with slightly higher loan balances led to a rise in the retail annualised loan loss rate to 93bps (H112: 87bps; FY12: 89bps)

—  
CRL balances in retail portfolios decreased 4%, primarily in:
 
–  
 Africa RBB, principally due to improved recoveries in South Africa home loans and depreciation of ZAR against GBP
 
–  
UK RBB, where reductions reflected lower recovery balances across portfolios primarily due to improved performance in Business Banking and in Consumer Lending
 
–  
This was partially offset by higher balances in Europe RBB primarily due to an increase in mortgage recovery balances across all home loans portfolios reflecting challenging economic conditions

—  
Arrears rates remained steady in the UK due to targeted balance growth and improved customer affordability that continued to be supported by the low interest rate environment. The recoveries impairment coverage ratio also remained stable in line with the recoveries balances
 
—  
In the UK, of the total home loans portfolio of £121,784m
 
–  
Owner-occupied interest only balances of £46.1bn (2012: £45.7bn) represented 37.9% of total home loan balances (see page 75 for more detail). The average balance weighted LTV for interest only balances remained low at 57.3% (2012: 58.9%) and with 90 day arrears rates were flat at 30bps (2012: 30bps) and in line with overall portfolio performance
 
–  
Buy to let home loans comprised 7% of the total stock (2012: 7%).  For buy to let home loans, arrears rates improved marginally from 0.54% to 0.49% while balance weighted portfolio LTV remained broadly stable at 64.7% (2012: 65.7%)
 
—  
South African home loans arrears decreased and charge off rates improved due to continued focus on collection strategies. Recovery impairment coverage ratio increased in part due to an increase in ageing within the recovery book
 
—  
Recoveries performance of home loans in Europe continued to decline as reflected in the increase in the recoveries proportion of outstanding balances for Spain, Italy and Portugal and the increase in recoveries impairment coverage ratio

—  
Credit quality of the principal home loan portfolios reflected relatively conservative credit criteria resulting in low levels of high LTV lending as well as moderate LTV on existing portfolios
 
—  
During H113, the average marked to market LTV (both balance weighted and valuation weighted) of UK decreased due to appreciating house prices. The increase in Spain and Portugal was as a result of continued decline in house prices. The marked to market LTV in Italy remained broadly stable
 
—  
In UK, balances >100% LTV reduced in the first half of 2013. However, the balance weighted LTV for the same period increased due to  the remaining balances having higher LTVs  than those paid down
 
—  
In South Africa Home Loans, whilst balances with >100% LTV reduced to £739m (2012: £1,064m) the percentage of balances in recoveries with >100% LTV increased to 50.1% (2012: 46.2%) due to longer resolution time for recovery balances
 
 
1  
Portfolio marked to market based on the most updated valuations and includes recoveries balances. Updated valuations reflect the application of the latest house price index available in the country as at 30 June 2013.
2  
Valuation weighted LTV is the ratio between total outstanding balances and the value of total collateral held against these balances. Balance weighted LTV approach is derived by calculating individual LTVs at account level and weighting by the individual loan balances to arrive at the average position.

—  
New lending in principal home loan portfolios decreased 2% to £8,838m (2012: £8,984m)
 
—  
The decrease in average valuation weighted LTV in the UK to 53.8% (2012: 55.3%) was driven by an increased proportion of lower LTV originations. The volume in  the UK is constrained by conservative credit criteria and risk limits, as evidenced by the decrease in the new home loans proportion above 85%
 
—  
In South Africa, new home loans above 85% LTV decreased from 33.3% to 28.1% due to stricter lending criteria
 
—  
During H113, new lending was reduced in Europe home loans as conservative credit criteria were maintained. Average LTV on new home loans in Spain remained broadly stable. Whilst the proportion of new home loans above 85% LTV decreased from 5.2% to 0.6%

New home loans for 2013 and 2012 is total for the first half of the year.
 

Credit Risk
 
Exposures to interest only home loans
 
—  
The Group provides interest only mortgages to customers, mainly in the UK. Under the terms of these loans, the customer makes payments of interest only for the entire term of the mortgage, although customers may make early repayments of the principal provided that these are no more than 5% of the principal balance in any year
 
—  
Subject to such overpayments, the entire principal remains outstanding until the end of the loan term and the customer is responsible for repaying this on maturity. The means of repayment may include the sale of the mortgaged property
 
—  
Interest only lending is subject to underwriting criteria that includes: a maximum size of loan, maximum LTV ratios, affordability and maximum loan term amongst other criteria. Borrowers on interest only terms must have a repayment strategy in place to repay the loan at maturity and a customer contact strategy has been developed to ensure ongoing communications are in place with interest only customers at various points during the term of the mortgage. The contact strategy is varied dependent on our view of the risk of the customer
 
—  
Interest only mortgages comprise £53bn (2012: £53bn) of the total £122bn (2012: £115bn) UK home loans portfolio. Of these, £46bn (2012: £46bn) are owner-occupied with the remaining £7bn (2012: £7bn) buy-to-let

Exposures to Mortgage Current Accounts Reserves
 
—  
A Mortgage Current Account (MCA) Reserve is a secured overdraft facility available to a home loan customer which allows them to borrow against the equity in their home. It allows draw-down up to an agreed available limit. The balance drawn must be repaid on redemption of the mortgage
 
—  
Of total 920k home loan customers, 611k have Mortgage Current Account (MCA) reserves, with total reserve limits of £18.5bn. Utilisation of these limits was 31.5% at June 2013 (2012: 30.9%)
 
—  
While the MCA reserve was withdrawn from sale in December 2012, as existing customers, including those in potential financial difficulty, can continue to draw down against the available reserve (£13.0bn of undrawn limits as at June 2013) 
 
—  
Including the drawn down proportion of MCA reserves, these accounts represent £78.1bn (2012: £82.2bn) of the total UK Home Loans exposure of £121.8bn (2012: £114.8bn)
 
—  
Using current valuations, the average balance weighted LTV of accounts with a mortgage current account reserve is 58.3% (2012: 59.7%). This compares with a portfolio average balance weighted LTV of 57.9%

—  
Gross loans and advances in credit cards, overdrafts and unsecured loans remained broadly stable with the increase in Germany, Barclays Partner Finance and US card portfolios being offset by decreases in Italy salary advance loans and UK overdrafts
 
—  
With the exception of South Africa cards and Italy salary advance loans, arrears rates remained broadly stable. In Iberia cards portfolios recoveries proportion of outstanding balances have been actively reduced during the period following a tightening in write off policy
 
—  
In South Africa, delinquency and charge off rates deteriorated due to the difficult macroeconomic environment
 
—  
The deterioration in arrears rates in Italy salary advance loans was driven by one intermediary otherwise underlying performance was broadly stable. The increase in recoveries proportion of outstanding balances and coverage ratio reflected the difficult economic environment and insurance claims experience which resulted in the lower recovery of outstanding balances
 

 
1 UK cards includes the acquired Egg credit card assets, which totalled £1.7bn at acquisition. The outstanding acquired balances have been excluded from the recoveries impairment coverage ratio on the basis that the         portfolio has been recognised on acquisition at fair value during 2011 (with no related impairment allowance). Impairment allowances have been recognised as appropriate where these relate to the period post    acquisition.
 
South Africa Cards now includes the acquired Edcon portfolio and in both FY12 and H113 figures. The outstanding acquired balances have been excluded from the recoveries impairment coverage ratio on the basis that    the   portfolio has been recognised on acquisition at fair value during 2012 (with no related impairment allowance). Impairment allowances have been recognised as appropriate where these relate to the period post    acquisition.
 
3 The recoveries impairment coverage ratio for Italy salary advance loans is lower than other unsecured portfolios as these loans are extended to customers where the repayment is made via a salary deduction at source by   qualifying employers and Barclays is insured in the event of  termination of employment or death. Recoveries represent balances where insurance claims are pending that we believe are largely recoverable, hence the lower   coverage.

—  
UK business lending gross loans and advances increased 4% to £8,349m (2012: £8,053m). Arrears and charge off rates improved due to close monitoring of the portfolio resulting in a reduction in recoveries balances
 
—  
Business lending gross loans and advances in Europe reduced 4% in the first half of 2013 to £1,673m (2012: £1,742m) primarily due to the tightening of credit policy and a reduction in new business volumes
 
—  
Spain gross loans and advances reduced 2% to £1,071m (2012: £1,095m). Loan loss rates increased to 320bps (2012: 210bps) due to difficult macro economic conditions. Spain early warning list balances as a percentage of drawn balances reduced significantly as a result of closely managing cases
 
—  
Portugal gross loans and advances reduced 8% to £549m (2012: £596m). Loan loss rates increased to 588bps (2012: 503bps) reflecting both increasing arrears in the difficult macro environment and reducing balances
 
 
1  Arrears Managed accounts are principally customers with an exposure limit less than £50,000 in the UK and €100,000 in Europe, with processes designed to manage a homogeneous set of assets. Arrears Balances reflects     the total balances of accounts which are past due on payments.
 
2  Early Warning List Managed accounts are customers that exceed the Arrears Managed limits and are monitored with processes that record heightened levels of risk through an Early Warning List grading. Early Warning     List balances comprise of a list of three categories graded in line with the perceived severity of the risk attached to the lending, and can include customers that are up to date with contractual payments or subject to    forbearance as appropriate.

—  
The impairment charge for H113 was lower at £10m (2012: £17m)
 
—  
As at H113, UK CRE in business lending accounted for 18.6% of total UK Business Lending balances

Retail forbearance programmes
 
Forbearance programmes on principal Credit Cards, Overdrafts, Unsecured Loans, Home Loans and Business Lending portfolios
 
—  
Retail forbearance is available to customers experiencing financial difficulties. Forbearance solutions may take a number of forms depending on the extent of the financial dislocation. Short term solutions normally focus on temporary reductions to contractual payments and switches from capital and interest payments to interest only. For customers with longer term financial difficulties, term extensions may be offered, which may also include interest rate concessions and fully amortising balances for card portfolios
 
—  
Forbearance on the Group’s principal portfolios in the US, UK and Europe is presented below
 
—  
Forbearance balances in South Africa are not included as local practices are in the process of being aligned to Group policy. In other retail portfolios, the level of forbearance extended to customers is not material and, typically, is not a significant factor in the management of customer relationships

—  
Loans in forbearance in the principal home loans portfolios increased 16% to £2,304m, mainly due to an increase in UK and Italy
 
—  
In Spain, forbearance accounts are predominantly full account restructures, In Italy, the majority of the balances relate to specific schemes required by the Government and amendments are weighted towards payment holidays and interest suspensions
 
—  
Within UK home loans, term extensions account for over 60% of forbearance balances, the majority of the remainder being switches from ‘capital and interest’ to ‘interest only’ pre 2010
 
—  
Loans in forbearance in principal Credit Cards, Overdrafts and Unsecured Loans portfolios decreased  5% to £1,211m. Forbearance programmes as a proportion of outstanding balances reduced in UK and US cards due to an improved credit environment and repayment behaviours and a tightening of forbearance policy in 2012
 
—  
The increase in Italy forbearance is in part due to inclusion of €256m (£219m) of Italian government payment suspension schemes relating to earthquakes in Abruzzo, Emilia and Lombardy

—  
Gross loans and advances to customers and banks increased 19% during H113 principally due to a 30% rise in the Investment Bank as a result of higher settlement balances. For more detail, see analysis of Investment Bank wholesale loans and advances on page 82
 
—  
The loan impairment charge decreased 26% to £522m (H112: £706m) principally due to improvements in Corporate Banking partly reflecting reduced impairment against large corporate clients in the UK and lower charges in Europe reflecting actions to reduce exposure to the Spanish property and construction sectors
 
—  
The lower impairment charge coupled with the higher loan balances resulted in an annualised loan loss rate of 37bps (H112: 50bps; FY12: 51bps)
 
 
1  
Investment Bank gross loans and advances include cash collateral and settlement balances of £129,667m as at 30 June 2013 and £85,116m as at 31 December 2012. Excluding these balances CRLs as a proportion of gross loans and advances were 1.5% and 1.3% respectively and the loan loss rates were 63bps and 33bps respectively.

Loan impairment charge as at December 2012 is the charge for the 12 month period.

—  
CRL balances  decreased 1% to £6,246m primarily due to Corporate Banking where lower balances reflected a reduction in Europe, most notably Spain, following write-offs and a debt sale
 
—  
This decrease was partially offset by higher balances in:   
 
–  
Wealth and Investment Management, principally reflecting the inclusion of a single name exposure  
 
–  
Investment Bank reflecting the inclusion of a single name exposure partially offset by sales and payments and the exit from one large position

—  
Investment Bank wholesale loans and advances increased 30% to £186,616m driven by higher settlement balances offset by a reduction in other wholesale lending
 
—  
Excluding settlement and cash collateral balances from total loans and advances, the annualised loan loss rate for the Investment Bank increased to 63bps (2012: 33bps) due to a charge on a single name exposure within Other wholesale lending
 
—  
Included within corporate lending and other wholesale lending portfolios are £1,280m (2012: £1,336m) of loans backed by retail mortgage collateral
 
 
Credit Risk
 
Wholesale Forbearance
 
—  
Wholesale client relationships are individually managed and lending decisions are made with reference to specific circumstances and on bespoke terms
 
—  
Forbearance occurs when Barclays, for reasons relating to the actual or perceived financial difficulty of an obligor, grants a concession below current Barclays standard terms (i.e. lending criteria below our current lending terms), that would not normally be considered. This includes all troubled debt restructures granted below our standard rates
 
—  
Personal and Trusts includes Wealth and Investment Management clients that are high net worth individuals who organise their affairs through funds and trusts
 
—  
Loan impairment on forbearance cases amounted to £1,005m (2012: £1,149m), which represented 26% (2012: 27%) of total forbearance balances
 
—  
Maturity date extension accounted for the largest proportion of forbearance recognised, followed by changes to cashflow profile other than maturity extension and adjustments to or non-enforcement of covenants
 
—  
Corporate borrowers accounted for 86% (2012: 89%) of balances and 94% (2012: 95%) of impairment booked to forbearance exposures at 30 June 2013, with impairment representing 28% (2012: 29%) of forbearance balances
 
—  
Corporate Banking accounted for the single largest proportion of overall Wholesale forbearance, with forbearance exposures concentrated in Western Europe and particularly Spain, which accounted for 21% (2012: 29%) of total Wholesale forbearance balances and 43% (2012: 45%) of total impairment booked to forbearance exposures at 30 June 2013

Credit Risk
 
Group exposures to Eurozone countries
 
—  
The Group recognises the credit and market risk resulting from the ongoing volatility in the Eurozone and continues to monitor events closely while taking coordinated steps to mitigate the risks associated with the challenging economic environment
 
—  
During H113 the Group’s net on-balance sheet exposures to Spain, Italy, Portugal, Ireland, Cyprus and Greece reduced by 4% to £57.2bn (2012: £59.3bn) principally due to Sovereign exposure decreasing 50% to £2.7bn with a reduction in Spanish and Italian government bonds held as available for sale
 
—  
As at 30 June 2013, the local net funding deficit in Italy was €13.6bn (2012: €11.8bn) and the deficit in Portugal was €4.4bn (2012: €4.1bn). The net funding surplus in Spain was €1.8bn (2012: €2.3bn). Barclays continues to monitor the potential impact of the Eurozone volatility on local balance sheet funding and will consider actions as appropriate to manage the risk
 
Summary of Group exposures
 
—  
The following table shows Barclays exposure to Eurozone countries monitored internally as being higher risk and thus being the subject of particular management focus. Detailed analysis on these countries is on pages 86 to 93. The basis of preparation is consistent with that described in the 2012 Annual Report
 
—  
The net exposure provides the most appropriate measure of the credit risk to which the Group is exposed. The gross exposure is also presented below, alongside off-balance sheet contingent liabilities and commitments

—  
During H113 the Group’s sovereign exposure to Spain, Italy, Portugal, Ireland, Cyprus and Greece reduced by 50% to £2.7bn
 
–  
Spanish sovereign exposure reduced 86% to £292m due to the disposal of available for sale government bonds
 
–  
Italian sovereign exposure decreased 26% to £2bn principally due to a reduction in government bonds held as available for sale
 
—  
Residential mortgage and other retail exposures increased by 2% to £33.3bn and £6.4bn respectively, reflecting foreign exchange movements offset partially by  lower new originations across Spain, Italy and Portugal
 
—  
Corporate exposure reduced 2% to £9.1bn, largely reflecting reduced lending in Italy and Portugal, partially offset by increased trading assets in Spain and foreign exchange movements
 
—  
Exposures to financial institutions fell marginally by 1% to £5.6bn, with lower exposure in Spain and Italy offset predominately by increased exposure in Ireland relating to a loan to a single investment grade counterparty

Credit Risk
 
Credit derivatives referencing Eurozone sovereign debt
 
 
—  
The Group enters into credit mitigation arrangements (principally credit default swaps and total return swaps) for which the reference asset is government debt. For Italy and Portugal, these have the net effect of reducing the Group’s exposure in the event of sovereign default

—  
Credit derivatives are contracts whereby the default risk of an asset (reference asset) is transferred from the buyer to the seller of the credit derivative contract
 
—  
Credit derivatives referencing sovereign assets are bought and sold to support client transactions and for risk management purposes
 
—  
The contract notional amount represents the size of the credit derivative contracts that have been bought or sold, while the fair value represents the change in the value of the reference asset
 
—  
The net protection or exposure from credit derivatives in the event of sovereign default amount represents a net purchase or sale of insurance by the Group. This insurance reduces or increases the Group’s total exposure and should be considered alongside the direct exposures disclosed in the preceding pages
 
 
Eurozone balance sheet redenomination risk
 
—  
Redenomination risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group should one or more countries exit the Euro, leading to the devaluation of local balance sheet assets and liabilities. The Group is directly exposed to redenomination risk where there is a mismatch between the level of locally denominated assets and liabilities
 
—  
Within Barclays, retail banking, corporate banking and wealth management activities in the Eurozone are generally booked locally within each country. Locally booked customer assets and liabilities, primarily loans and advances to customers and customer deposits, are predominantly denominated in Euros. The remaining funding need is met through local funding secured against customer loans and advances, with any residual need funded through the Group
 
—  
During H113, the net funding mismatch increased from €11.8bn to €13.6bn in Italy and from €4.1bn to €4.4bn in Portugal. The surplus in Spain decreased from €2.3bn to €1.8bn. These increases were predominantly driven by a reduction in local liabilities, including the partial repayment of the European Central Bank’s 3 year LTRO in Portugal and Spain
 
—  
Barclays continues to monitor the potential impact of the Eurozone volatility on local balance sheet funding and will consider actions as appropriate to manage the risk
 
—  
Direct exposure to Greece is very small with negligible net funding required from Group. For Ireland there is no local balance sheet funding requirement by the Group as total liabilities in this country exceed total assets
 
 
Market Risk
 
Analysis of the Investment Bank’s market risk exposure
 
—  
The Investment Bank’s market risk positions are monitored, reported and challenged by an independent Risk department. Measurement methodologies are continually monitored and scenarios used for stress tests are regularly reviewed to ensure that they remain appropriate
 
—  
Daily Value at Risk (DVaR) is one of a range of market risk metrics used in the Investment Bank to measure and control market risk. This measure is further supplemented with additional metrics used to manage the firm’s trading exposures such as stress testing, scenario analysis and position limits
 
—  
The Investment Bank’s management DVaR is calculated at a 95% confidence level, assuming a one day holding period. The calculation is based on historical simulation of the most recent two years of data. This is calculated and reported internally on a daily basis
 
—  
Total DVaR fell by 26% to £31m since the same period in 2012 due to decreases in Foreign Exchange Risk (33% decrease), Spread Risk (38% decrease) and Credit Risk (19% decrease)
 
—  
The business remained well within the DVaR limits approved by the Barclays Board Financial Risk Committee throughout H113

Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities
 
The Directors confirm to the best of their knowledge that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements set out on pages 11 to 15 and 97 to 130 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, as adopted by the European Union, and that the interim management report herein includes a fair review of the information required by Disclosure and Transparency Rules 4.2.7 and 4.2.8 namely:
 
An indication of important events that have occurred during the six months ended 30 June 2013 and their impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year
 
Material related party transactions in the six months ended 30 June 2013 and any material changes in the related party transactions described in the last Annual Report
 
On behalf of the Board

Independent Auditors’ Review Report to Barclays PLC
 
Introduction

We have been engaged by Barclays PLC to review the condensed set of consolidated interim financial statements in the interim results announcement for the six months ended 30 June 2013, which comprises the Condensed Consolidated Income Statement, Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and other Comprehensive Income, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Condensed Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and related notes. We have read the other information contained in the interim results announcement and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Directors’ responsibilities1,2

The interim results announcement is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the Directors. The Directors are responsible for preparing the interim results announcement in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
 
As disclosed in the ‘ Accounting Policies’ section, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in this interim results announcement has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the European Union.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in the interim results announcement based on our review. This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the company for the purpose of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and for no other purpose. We do not, in producing this report, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, ‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity’ issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in the interim results announcement for the six months ended 30 June 2013 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

The maintenance and integrity of the Barclays website is the responsibility of the directors; the work carried out by the auditors does not involve consideration of these matters and, accordingly, the auditors accept no responsibility for any changes that may have occurred to the financial statements since they were initially presented on the website.

Financial Statement Notes
 
1.    Basis of preparation
 
The Results Announcement has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as those used in the 2012 Annual Report, except for the following accounting standards which were adopted by the Group on 1 January 2013:

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements

IFRS 10 replaced requirements in IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and SIC 12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. This introduced new criteria to determine whether entities in which the Group has interests should be consolidated. The implementation of IFRS 10 resulted in the Group consolidating some entities that were previously not consolidated and deconsolidating some entities that were previously consolidated, principally impacting the consolidation of entities in the Investment Bank with credit market exposures.

IAS 19 (Revised 2011) Employee Benefits

IAS 19 (Revised 2011), amongst other changes, requires actuarial gains and losses arising from defined benefit pension schemes to be recognised in full. Previously the Group deferred these over the remaining average service lives of the employees (known as the ‘corridor’ approach).

Comparatives have been fully restated for IFRS 10 and IAS19 in accordance with their transition requirements. IFRS 10 requires the presentation of restated comparatives immediately prior to the first period of application only. The Group published a restatement document on 16 April 2013 describing the financial impacts of IFRS 10 and IAS 19.

The financial impact on the Group for the year ended 31 December 2012 had IFRS 10 and IAS 19 been adopted is shown in the table below:

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
 
IFRS 13 provides comprehensive guidance on how to calculate the fair value of financial and non-financial assets. The adoption of IFRS 13 did not have a material financial impact on the Group.

Future accounting developments

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 will change the classification and therefore the measurement of its financial assets, the recognition of impairment and hedge accounting. In addition to these changes, the portion of gains and losses arising from changes in the Group’s credit rating included in changes in the value of the Group’s issued debt securities held at fair value through profit or loss will be included in other comprehensive income rather than the income statement. The proposals have yet to be finalised and it is therefore not yet possible to estimate the financial effects. The current effective date is 1 January 2015, but may be delayed.
 
For more information on future accounting changes, refer to the Barclays 2012 Annual Report. 
 
 
Financial Statement Notes
 
Going Concern
 
The Group's business activities and financial position, the factors likely to affect its future development and performance, and its objectives and policies in managing the financial risks to which it is exposed and its capital are discussed in the Results by Business, Performance Management and Risk Management sections.
 
 
The Directors confirm they are satisfied that the Group has adequate resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis for preparing accounts.

Total staff costs increased 8% to £6,431m, principally reflecting £383m redundancy and restructuring costs across Europe RBB and the Investment Bank as part of Transform.
 
Group compensation costs were broadly stable at £5,150m (2012: £5,169m) with the Group compensation: adjusted net operating income ratio remaining at 38% (FY12: 38%; H112: 38%). Group performance costs reduced 4% to £1,370m with the Group current year bonus charge reducing 5% to £511m, including £94m of deferred bonus charges accelerated as part of Transform. The deferred bonus charge for 2013 remained stable, and there was an expected charge of £1.2bn (2012: £1.7bn) relating to future periods for bonus awards granted but not yet expensed as at 30 June 2013.
 
Investment Bank compensation costs were £2,542m (2012: £2,579m) with the Investment Bank compensation: income ratio remaining stable at 39% (FY12: 40%; H112: 40%). Investment Bank performance costs reduced 3% to £1,009m, compared to a 7% increase in profit before tax.
 
No awards have yet been granted in relation to the 2013 bonus pool as decisions regarding incentive awards are not taken by the Remuneration Committee until the performance for the full year can be assessed. The current year bonus charge for the first six months represents an accrual for estimated costs in accordance with accounting requirements.
 
Other resourcing costs increased by £505m to £1,281m primarily due to £383m of redundancy and restructuring costs relating to Costs to Achieve Transform.
 
 
 
1For H113 the Group has realigned outsourcing costs from administration and general expenses to staff costs in order to more appropriately reflect the nature and internal management of these costs. The net effect of these movements is to reduce administration and general expenses and increase staff costs by £522m in H113 and £448m in H112.

Administration and general expenses have reduced 6% to £3,350m (2012: £3,575m) primarily reflecting the non-recurrence of the £290m penalty relating to the industry wide investigation into the setting of interbank offered rates, offset by costs to achieve Transform of £160m.

5. UK Bank Levy
 
UK legislation was enacted in July 2011 to introduce an annual bank levy, which is calculated by reference to the Group’s year end liabilities. The levy resulted in an additional operating expense of £345m for the year ended 31 December 2012. The total cost for 2013 is expected to be approximately £520m, all of which is due to be recognised on 31 December 2013 in accordance with IFRS.
 
6.Tax
 
The tax charge for H113 was £594m (2012: £313m) representing an effective tax rate of 35.4% (2012: 35.9%). The effective tax rate for both periods is higher than the UK tax rate of 23.25% (2012: 24.5%) because of profits outside of the UK being taxed at local statutory tax rates that are higher than the UK statutory tax rate, non-creditable taxes and non-deductible expenses, partially offset by the effect of non-taxable gains and income.

9.Dividends on Ordinary Shares
 
It is Barclays’ policy to declare and pay dividends on a quarterly basis. The first interim dividend for 2013 of 1p per share was paid on 7 June 2013. The Board has decided to pay on 13 September 2013, a second interim dividend for 2013 of 1p per ordinary share to shareholders on the share register on 9 August 2013, making a total for the first half of 2013 of 2p (2012: 2p). Shareholders may have their dividends reinvested in Barclays shares by joining the Barclays PLC Scrip Dividend Programme (the Programme), which was approved by shareholders at the Barclays 2013 Annual General Meeting. The Programme will initially be offered for the second interim dividend and for any dividends paid thereafter (subject to the Directors making the Programme available for each dividend).

The fair value of gross derivative assets decreased by 14% to £403bn (2012: £469bn) reflecting the impact of optimisation initiatives to reduce gross derivative exposures and increases in the major forward curves, offset by movements in the foreign exchange rates.
 
Information on further netting of derivative financial instruments is included within note 12, Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities.

11.Financial Instruments Held at Fair Value
 
This section should be read in conjunction with Note 18 “Fair value of financial instruments” of the 2012 Annual Report, which provides more detail about accounting policies adopted, valuation methodologies used in calculating fair value and, the Valuation control framework which governs the oversight of valuations.
 
Comparison of carrying amounts and fair values
 
Valuation methodologies employed in calculating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost are consistent with the 2012 Annual Report disclosure.
 
The following table summarises the fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost on the Group’s balance sheet.

Financial Statement Notes
 
Fair Value Hierarchy
 
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement requires an entity to classify its financial instruments held at fair value according to a hierarchy that reflects the significance of observable market inputs. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined below.
 
Quoted market prices – Level 1
 
Financial instruments are classified as Level 1 if their value is observable in an active market. Such instruments are valued by reference to unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets where the quoted price is readily available, and the price represents actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. An active market is one in which transactions occur with sufficient volume and frequency to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
 
This category includes liquid government bonds actively traded through an exchange or clearing house, actively traded listed equities and actively exchange-traded derivatives.
 
Valuation technique using observable inputs – Level 2
 
Financial instruments classified as Level 2 have been valued using models whose inputs are observable in an active market. Valuations based on observable inputs include financial instruments such as swaps and forwards which are valued using market standard pricing techniques, and options that are commonly traded in markets where all the inputs to the market standard pricing models are observable.
 
This category includes most investment grade and liquid high yield bonds, certain asset backed securities, US agency securities, government bonds, less actively traded listed equities, bank, corporate and municipal obligations, certain OTC derivatives, certain convertible bonds, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, collateralised loan obligations (CLOs), most commodities based derivatives, credit derivatives, certain credit default swaps (CDSs), most fund units, certain loans, foreign exchange spot and forward transactions and certain issued notes.
 
Valuation technique using significant unobservable inputs – Level 3
 
Financial instruments are classified as Level 3 if their valuation incorporates significant inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). A valuation input is considered observable if it can be directly observed from transactions in an active market, or if there is compelling external evidence demonstrating an executable exit price. An input is deemed significant if it is shown to contribute more than 10% to the valuation of a financial instrument.
 
Unobservable input levels are generally determined based on observable inputs of a similar nature, historical observations or other analytical techniques.
 
The Level 3 category includes certain corporate debt securities, distressed debt, private equity investments, commercial real estate loans, certain OTC derivatives (requiring complex and unobservable inputs such as correlations and long dated volatilities), certain convertible bonds, certain CDSs, derivative exposures to monoline insurers, certain fund units, certain asset backed securities, certain issued notes, certain CDOs (synthetic and some cash underlyings), certain CLOs and certain loans.

Included in financial assets designated at fair value is the Education, Social Housing and Local Authority loan portfolio of £16.2bn (2012: £17.6bn) whose valuation continues to use internal credit spreads among other (observable) factors. Valuation uncertainty arises mainly from the long dated nature of the portfolio, the lack of active secondary market in the loans and the lack of observable loan counterparty credit spreads. Should the valuation of the underlying assets become observable, for instance because of sales of comparable assets by third parties, this could be at a materially different valuation to the current carrying value.

The most recent issuance of government bonds will be the most actively traded.  When there is a new issuance of certain government bonds, any previous issuances held on the balance sheet as Level 1 will be transferred into Level 2 to reflect a decrease in trading activity.  As a result of new issuances in H113, £631m of government and government sponsored debt were transferred from Level 1 into Level 2.
 
Level 3 movement analysis
 
The following table summarises the movements in the Level 3 balance during the year. The table shows gains and losses and includes amounts for all financial assets and liabilities transferred to and from Level 3 during the year. Transfers have been reflected as if they had taken place at the beginning of the year.

Instruments move between Level 2 and Level 3  primarily due to i) an increase or decrease in observable market activity related to an input or ii) a change in the significance of the unobservable input.  Instruments are classified as Level 3 if an unobservable input is deemed significant as it contributes more than 10% to the valuation of a financial instrument.  There are regular reassessments of the significance of unobservable inputs which will result in transfers between Level 2 and Level 3.

During H113, transfers into Level 3 totalled £163m. Asset backed securities held as trading portfolio assets amounting to £121m were transferred into Level 3 reflecting a decrease in observable market activity. Loans designated at fair value through profit or loss with a fair value of £101m and net credit derivatives of £317m were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 following a reassessment of the significance of the unobservable inputs at 30 June 2013.

Transfers out of Level 3 totalled £768m.  Certain loans designated at fair value through profit or loss with a fair value of £547m and interest rate derivatives amounting to £153m were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 following a reassessment of the significance of the unobservable inputs used in the valuation of the loans to their fair value at 30 June 2013.  Additionally, £207m of Equity derivatives, £114m of Issued debt and £118m of Asset backed securities held as trading portfolio assets were transferred out of Level 3 in line with observable market activity.

Valuation techniques and sensitivity analysis

Current year valuation methodologies were consistent with those described within the 2012 Annual Report, however product categories disclosed have been amended in order to present a level of detail that is more appropriate to disclosure requirements under IFRS 13. Product types that previously included both derivative and non-derivative products have now been split. For example, ‘Equity products’ has been split into ‘Equity derivatives’ and ‘Equity cash products’.  ‘Non-asset backed debt instruments’ have been split into ‘Government and government sponsored debt’, ‘Corporate debt’, ‘Certificates of deposit, commercial paper and other money market instruments’ and ‘Issued debt’.  ‘Non asset backed loans’ were previously disclosed as part of the product type ‘Other’.
 
Sensitivity analysis is performed on products with significant unobservable parameters (Level 3) to generate a range of reasonably possible alternative valuations. The sensitivity methodologies applied take account of the nature of valuation techniques used, as well as the availability and reliability of observable proxy and historical data and the impact of using alternative models. Sensitivities are calculated without reflecting the impact of any diversification in the portfolio.
 
Sensitivities are dynamically calculated on a monthly basis. The calculation is based on a range, standard deviation or spread data of a reliable reference source or a scenario based on alternative market views alongside the impact of using alternative models. The level of shift or scenarios applied is considered for each product and varied according to the quality of the data and variability of underlying market. Sensitivity to using alternative models is quantified through scenario analysis and proxy approaches.

The effect of stressing unobservable inputs to a range of reasonably possible alternatives alongside considering the impact of using alternative models would be to increase fair values by up to £1.5bn (2012: £1.9bn) or to decrease fair values by up to £1.7bn (2012: £1.9bn) with substantially all the potential effect impacting the income statement rather than equity.
 
No stress has been applied to the receivables relating to the Lehman acquisition (Note 20). The sensitivity inherent in the measurement of the receivables is akin to a litigation provision. Due to this, an upside and downside stress on a basis comparable with the other assets cannot be applied.

Weighted averages have been provided for non derivative financial instruments and have been calculated by weighting inputs by the relative fair value.  A weighted average has not been provided for derivatives as weighting by fair value would not give a comparable metric.
2  
The units used to disclose ranges for significant unobservable inputs are percentages, points and basis points.  Points are a percentage of par; for example, 100 points equals 100% of par. A basis point equals 1/100th of 1%; for example, 150 basis points equals 1.5%.
3  
Certain derivative instruments are classified as Level 3 due to a significant unobservable credit spread input into the calculation of the Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) for the instruments. The range of unobservable credit spreads is between 49-1,530bps.
4  
Other primarily includes receivables resulting from the acquisition of the North American business of Lehman Brothers, asset backed loans and private equity investments.
 


Financial Statement Notes
 
The following section describes the significant unobservable inputs identified in the table above, and the sensitivity of fair value measurement of the instruments categorised as Level 3 assets or liabilities to increases in significant unobservable inputs. Where sensitivities are described the inverse relationship will also generally apply.

Where reliable interrelationships can be identified between significant unobservable inputs used in fair value measurement a description of those interrelationships is included below.

Comparable Price
Comparable instrument prices are used in valuation by calculating an implied yield (or spread over a liquid benchmark) from the price of a comparable observable bond, then adjusting that yield (or spread) to derive a value for the unobservable bond. The adjustment to yield (or spread) should account for relevant differences in the bonds such as maturity or credit quality. Alternatively, a price-to-price basis can be assumed between the comparable instrument and bond being valued in order to establish the value of the bond. In general a significant increase in comparable price in isolation will result in a movement in fair value that is favourable for the holder of a cash instrument.

For a derivative instrument, a significant increase in an input derived from a comparable price in isolation can result in a movement in fair value that is favourable or unfavourable depending on the specific terms of the instrument.

Conditional Prepayment Rate
Conditional prepayment rate is the proportion of voluntary, unscheduled repayments of loan principal by a borrower. Prepayment rates affect the weighted average life of securities by altering the timing of future projected cashflows.  

A significant increase in a conditional prepayment rate in isolation can result in a movement in fair value that is favourable or unfavourable depending on the specific terms of the instrument.

Conditional prepayment rates are typically inversely correlated to credit spread. i.e. Securities with high borrower credit spread typically experience lower prepayment rates, and also tend to experience higher default rates.

Constant Default Rate
The Constant Default Rate represents an annualised rate of default of the loan principal by the borrower. A significant increase in a constant default rate in isolation can result in a movement in fair value that is favourable or unfavourable depending on the specific terms of the instrument.

Constant Default Rate and Conditional Prepayment Rates are typically inversely correlated, less defaults on loans typically will mean higher credit quality and therefore more prepayments.

Correlation
Correlation is a measure of the relationship between the movements of two variables (i.e. how the change in one variable influences a change in the other variable).   Correlation is a key input into valuation of derivative contracts with more than one underlying instrument. For example, where an option contract is written on a basket of underlying names the volatility of the basket, and hence the fair value of the option, will depend on the correlation between the basket components. Credit correlation generally refers to the correlation between default processes for the separate names that make up the reference pool of a collateralised debt obligation structure.

A significant increase in correlation in isolation can result in a movement in fair value that is favourable or unfavourable depending on the specific terms of the instrument.

Credit Spread / Discount Margin
Credit spreads typically represent the difference in yield between an instrument and a benchmark security or reference rate. Credit spreads reflect the additional yield that a market participant would demand for taking exposure to the credit risk of an instrument. The credit spread for an instrument forms part of the yield used in a discounted cashflow calculation. In general a significant increase in credit spread or discount margin in isolation will result in a movement in fair value that is unfavourable for the holder of a cash instrument.

For a derivative instrument, a significant increase in credit spread or discount margin in isolation can result in a movement in fair value that is favourable or unfavourable depending on the specific terms of the instrument.

EBITDA
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization is an industry standard measure of maintainable earnings for an entity. In general a significant increase in EBITDA in isolation will result in a movement in fair value that is favourable for the entity.



Financial Statement Notes
 
EBITDA multiples
EBITDA multiples represent the Enterprise Value to EBITDA ratio, where the Enterprise Value is the aggregate value of equity and debt minus cash and cash equivalents for an entity. In general a significant increase in EBITDA multiples in isolation will result in a movement in fair value that is favourable for the entity.

Forwards
A price or rate that is applicable to a financial transaction that will take place in the future. A forward is generally based on the spot price or rate, adjusted for the cost of carry, and defines the price or rate that will be used to deliver a currency, bond, commodity or some other underlying instrument at a point in the future. A forward may also refer to the rate fixed for a future financial obligation, such as the interest rate on a loan payment. In general a significant increase in a forward in isolation will result in a movement in fair value that is favourable for the contracted receiver of the underlying (currency, bond, commodity etc.), but the sensitivity is dependent on the specific terms of the instrument.

Liquidity discount
A liquidity discount is the basis between listed firms (highly liquid) and unlisted private equity. In general a significant increase in liquidity discount in isolation will result in a movement in fair value that is unfavourable for the unlisted private equity.

Loss Given Default
Loss Given Default represents the expected loss upon liquidation of the collateral as a percentage of the balance outstanding. In general, lower recovery and lower projected cashflows to pay to the securitisation will translate to a significant increase in the Loss Given Default, resulting in a reduction in fair value that is unfavourable for the holder of the securitised product.

Volatility
Volatility is a key input in the valuation of derivative products containing optionality. Volatility is a measure of the variability or uncertainty in returns for a given derivative underlying. It represents an estimate of how much a particular underlying instrument, parameter or index will change in value over time.  In general, volatilities will be implied from observed option prices. For unobservable options the implied volatility may reflect additional assumptions about the nature of the underlying risk, as well as reflecting the given strike/maturity profile of a specific option contract.

In general a significant increase in volatility in isolation will result in a movement in fair value that is favourable for the holder of a simple option, but the sensitivity is dependent on the specific terms of the instrument.

There may be inter-relationships between unobservable volatilities and other unobservable inputs that can be implied from observation (e.g. when equity prices fall, implied equity volatilities generally rise) but these are specific to individual markets and may vary over time.

Discount factor applied to cashflow forecasts to reflect the risks of receiving those cashflows. In general a significant increase in weighted average cost of capital in isolation will result in a movement in fair value that is unfavourable for the receiver of the cashflows.

Yield
The rate used to discount projected cashflows in a discounted future cashflow analysis. In general a significant increase in yield in isolation will result in a movement in fair value that is unfavourable for the holder of a cash instrument.

 
Financial Statement Notes
 
Fair value adjustments
 
Valuation adjustments made are consistent with those described in detail in the 2012 Annual Report.
 
At 30 June 2013, the own credit adjustment arose from the fair valuation of Barclays financial liabilities designated at fair value. Barclays credit spreads widened during 2013, leading to a gain of £86m (2012: charge of £2,945m) from the fair value of changes primarily in own credit itself but also reflecting the effects of foreign exchange rates, time decay and trade activity.
 
The Group uses the portfolio exemption in IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement to measure the fair value of the group financial assets and financial liabilities. Instruments are measured using the price that would be received to sell a net long position (i.e. an asset) for a particular risk exposure or to transfer a net short position (i.e. a liability) for a particular risk exposure in an orderly transaction between market participants at the balance sheet date under current market conditions.

12.Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities
 
 
In accordance with IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation, the group reports financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis on the balance sheet only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The following table shows the impact of netting arrangements on:
 
·  
all financial assets and liabilities that are reported net on the balance sheet; and
 
·  
all derivative financial instruments and reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements and other similar secured lending and borrowing agreements that are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements, but do not qualify for balance sheet netting.
 
 The table identifies the amounts that have been offset in the balance sheet and also those amounts that are covered by enforceable netting arrangements (offsetting arrangements and financial collateral) but do not qualify for netting under the requirements of IAS 32 described above.
 
The ‘Net amounts’ presented below are not intended to represent the Group’s actual exposure to credit risk, as a variety of credit mitigation strategies are employed in addition to netting and collateral arrangements.

Derivative assets and liabilities
The ‘Financial instruments’ column identifies financial assets and liabilities that are subject to set off under netting agreements, such as the ISDA Master Agreement or derivative exchange or clearing counterparty agreements, whereby all outstanding transactions with the same counterparty can be offset and close-out netting applied across all outstanding transaction covered by the agreements if an event of default or other predetermined events occur.
 
Financial collateral refers to cash and non-cash collateral obtained, typically daily or weekly, to cover the net exposure between counterparties by enabling the collateral to be realised in an event of default or if other predetermined events occur.
 
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements and other similar secured lending and borrowing
The ‘Financial instruments’ column identifies financial assets and liabilities that are subject to set off under netting agreements, such as global master repurchase agreements and global master securities lending agreements, whereby all outstanding transactions with the same counterparty can be offset and close-out netting applied across all outstanding transaction covered by the agreements if an event of default or other predetermined events occur. Financial collateral typically comprises highly liquid securities which are legally transferred and can be liquidated in the event of counterparty default.

These offsetting and collateral arrangements and other credit risk mitigation strategies used by the Group are further explained in the Credit risk mitigation section (page 329) of the 2012 Annual Report.

Payment protection insurance redress
 
Following the conclusion of the 2011 Judicial Review, a provision for PPI redress of £1.0bn was raised in May 2011 based on FSA guidelines and historic industry experience in resolving similar claims.  Subsequently, further provisions totalling £1.6bn were raised during 2012.

Through to 30 June 2013, 1.46m (31 December 2012: 1.1m) customer initiated claims1 had been received and processed.  The monthly volume of claims received has declined by 46% since the peak in May 2012, although the rate of decline has been less than previously expected.  Consequently the future level of expected complaints has been increased to reflect the slower rate of decline. With the overall increase in volume of expected complaints, expectations on the number of complaints which are likely to be referred to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) have been revised upwards. As a result an additional provision of £1.35bn was recognised in June 2013 to reflect these updated assumptions including a provision for operational costs through to December 2014.  As at 30 June 2013 £2.3bn of the provision has been utilised, leaving a residual provision of £1.65bn.

In August 2012, in accordance with regulatory standards, Barclays commenced a proactive mailing of the holders of approximately 750,000 policies.  Of this population approximately 510,000 (31 December 2012: 100,000) had either been mailed or contacted Barclays independently by 30 June 2013 and it is anticipated that the remainder will be contacted by 31 December 2013.

To date Barclays has upheld on average 41% (31 December 2012: 39%) of all claims received, excluding payment of gestures of goodwill and reflecting a high proportion of claims for which no PPI policy exists.  The average redress per valid claim to date is £2,830 (31 December 2012: £2,750), comprising, where applicable, the refund of premium, compound interest charged and interest of 8%.   

The basis of the current provision is calculated from a number of key assumptions which continue to involve significant management judgement and modelling:
-  
Customer initiated claim volumes  – claims received but not yet processed as at 30 June and an estimate of future claims initiated by customers where the volume is anticipated to decline over time
-  
Proactive response rate – volume of claims in response to proactive mailing
-  
Uphold rate – the percentage of claims that are upheld as being valid upon review
-  
Average claim redress - the expected average payment to customers for upheld claims based on the type and age of the policy/policies

The provision also includes an estimate of our claims handling costs and those costs associated with claims that subsequently are referred to the FOS.
 
1  
Total claims received to date including those for which no PPI policy exists and excluding responses to proactive mailing.
 
Financial Statement Notes
 
These assumptions remain subjective; in particular due to the uncertainty associated with future claims levels. The resulting provision represents Barclays’ best estimate of all future expected costs of PPI redress. However, it is possible the eventual outcome may differ from the current estimate and if this were to be material a further provision will be made, otherwise it is expected that any residual costs will be handled as part of normal operations. The following table details, by key assumption, actual data through to 30 June 2013, forecast assumptions used in the provision calculation and a sensitivity analysis illustrating the impact on the provision if the future expected assumptions prove too high or too low.

Interest rate hedging product redress
 
On 29 June 2012, the FSA announced that it had reached agreement with a number of UK banks, including Barclays, in relation to a review and redress exercise to be carried out in respect of interest rate hedging products sold to small and medium sized enterprises.  On 31 January 2013, the FSA issued a report on the findings of an initial pilot review conducted by Barclays and a number of other banks.  The report included a number of changes and clarifications to the requirements under which the main review and redress exercise should be conducted and Barclays agreed to conduct the exercise in line with the approach set out in this report.
 
There are approximately 4,000 private or retail classified customers to which interest rate hedging products were sold within the relevant timeframe, of which approximately 2,900 have been categorised as non-sophisticated under the terms of the agreement.  As at 31 December 2012, a provision of £850m had been recognised, reflecting management’s best estimate of future redress to customers categorised as non-sophisticated and related costs.  The estimate was based on an extrapolation of the results of the initial pilot exercise across the population.  The provision recognised in the balance sheet as at 31 December 2012 was £814m, after utilisation of £36m during 2012, primarily related to administrative costs.
 
During 2013, additional cases have been reviewed providing a larger and more representative sample upon which to base our provision.  As a result, an additional provision of £650m has been recognised, bringing the cumulative expense to £1,500m. The provision on the balance sheet is £1,349m reflecting cumulative utilisation of £151m.
 
It is expected that this provision will be sufficient to cover the full cost of completing the redress, however, no provision has been recognised in relation to claims from customers classified as sophisticated, which are not covered by the redress exercise, or incremental consequential loss claims from customers classified as non-sophisticated.  These will be monitored and future provisions will be recognised to the extent an obligation resulting in a probable outflow is identified.
 
16.Retirement Benefits
 
As at 30 June 2013, the Group's IAS 19 (Revised) pension deficit across all schemes was £1.3bn (2012: £1.2bn). The increase in the deficit is due to small movements across a number of the Group’s pension schemes. The UK Retirement Fund (UKRF), which is the Group’s main scheme, had a deficit of £0.8bn (2012: £0.8bn).
 
The latest triennial funding valuation of the UKRF was carried out with an effective date of 30 September 2010, and showed a deficit of £5.0bn. Under the agreed recovery plan, deficit contributions of £1.8bn were paid to the fund in December 2011 and a further £0.5bn paid in April 2012. Further deficit contributions are payable from 2017 to 2021 starting at £0.65bn in 2017 and increasing by approximately 3.5% per annum until 2021. These deficit contributions are in addition to the regular contributions to meet the Group’s share of the cost of benefits accruing over each year.
 
The Scheme Actuary prepares an annual update of the funding position as at 30 September. The latest annual update was carried out as at 30 September 2012 and showed a deficit of £3.6bn. The next triennial funding valuation will be at 30 September 2013. Contribution requirements, including any deficit recovery plans, will be agreed between the Bank and Trustee by the end of 2014.

Total claims received to date including those for which no PPI policy exists and excluding responses to proactive mailing.
2  
The Proactive Response rate is expected to mature over time reflecting the lag between mailing and customer response.
3  
Claims include both customer initiated and proactive mailing. Future expected rates reflect the increased mix of proactive cases over time.
 
Financial Statement Notes
 
17.Share Capital and Warrants
 
Called up share capital comprises 12,867m (2012: 12,243m) ordinary shares of 25p each.
 
As at 30 June 2013, there were no unexercised warrants (2012: 379.2m).
 

18.Other Reserves
 
Currency Translation Reserve
 
Currency translation reserves in 2013 have increased by £750m (2012: decreased £531m) largely due to the appreciation of the US Dollar and Euro against Sterling. The currency translation reserve associated with non-controlling interests decreased by £239m (2012: £71m) due to the depreciation of ZAR against Sterling.
 
During the period, £2m gain (2012: £20m gain) from the currency translation reserve was recognised in the income statement.
 
Available for Sale Reserve
 
The available for sale reserve decreased £96m (2012: increased £502m), largely driven by £1,885m losses from changes in fair value on Government Bonds offset by £1,823m gains transferred to the income statement due to fair value hedging.
 
Cash Flow Hedge Reserve
 
The cash flow hedge reserve represents the cumulative gains and losses on effective cash flow hedging instruments that will be recycled to the income statement when hedged transactions affect profit or loss.
 
The decrease in the cash flow hedge reserve of £1,080m (2012: £0.7bn increase) principally reflected decreases in the fair value of interest rate swaps held for hedging purposes.
 
Treasury Shares
 
During the period £1,049m (2012: £955m) net purchases of treasury shares were made principally reflecting the increase in shares held for the purposes of employee share schemes, and £1,034m (2012: £912m) was transferred to retained earnings reflecting the vesting of deferred share based payments.

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (the FSCS) is the UK’s compensation scheme for customers of authorised institutions that are unable to pay claims. It provides compensation to depositors in the event that UK licensed deposit taking institutions are unable to meet their claims. The FSCS raises levies on UK licensed deposit taking institutions to meet such claims based on their share of UK deposits on 31 December of the year preceding the scheme year (which runs from 1 April to 31 March).

Financial Statement Notes
 
Compensation has previously been paid out by the FSCS funded by loan facilities totalling approximately £18bn provided by HM Treasury to FSCS in support of FSCS’s obligations to the depositors of banks declared in default.  In April 2012, the FSCS agreed revised terms on the loan facilities including a 70bps increase in the interest rate payable to 12 month LIBOR plus 100 basis points. This rate is subject to a floor equal to the HM Treasury’s own cost of borrowing, based on the relevant gilt rate. The facilities are expected to be repaid wholly from recoveries from the failed deposit takers, except for an estimated shortfall of £0.8bn,  The FSCS has announced it intends to recover this shortfall by levying the industry in three instalments across 2013, 2014 and 2015, in addition to the ongoing interest charges on the outstanding loans. Barclays has included an accrual of £190m in other liabilities as at 30 June 2013 (2012: £156m) in respect of the Barclays portion of the total levies raised by the FSCS.
 
Investment Bank US Mortgage Activities
 
Barclays activities within the US residential mortgage sector during the period of 2005 through 2008 included: sponsoring and underwriting of approximately $39bn of private-label securitisations; underwriting of approximately $34bn of other private-label securitisations; sales of approximately $150m of loans to government sponsored enterprises (GSEs); and sales of approximately $3bn of loans to others. Some of the loans sold by Barclays were originated by a Barclays subsidiary. Barclays also performed servicing activities through its US residential mortgage servicing business which Barclays acquired in Q4 2006 and subsequently sold in Q3 2010.
 
In connection with Barclays loan sales and sponsored private-label securitisations, Barclays provided certain loan level representations and warranties (R&Ws) generally relating to the underlying borrower, the property, mortgage documentation and/or compliance with law. Under certain circumstances, Barclays may be required to repurchase the related loans or make other payments related to such loans if the R&Ws are breached. Barclays was the sole provider of R&Ws with respect to approximately $5bn of Barclays sponsored securitizations, approximately $0.2bn of sales of loans to GSEs and approximately $3bn of loans sold to others. Other than approximately $1bn of loans sold to others for which R&Ws expired prior to 2012, there are no expiration provisions applicable to the R&Ws made by Barclays.  Barclays R&Ws with respect to loans sold to others are related to loans that were generally sold at significant discounts and contained more limited R&Ws than loans sold to GSEs and in respect of the approximately $5bn of Barclays sponsored securitisations discussed above.  R&Ws on the remaining approximately $34bn of Barclays sponsored securitisations were primarily provided by third party originators directly to the securitisation trusts with Barclays, as depositor to the securitisation trusts, providing more limited R&Ws. Total unresolved repurchase requests associated with all R&Ws made by Barclays on loans sold to GSEs and others and private-label activities were $0.4bn at 31 December 2012. Barclays currently has no provisions with respect to such repurchase requests, given Barclays analysis of such requests and Barclays belief as to applicable defences with respect thereto. Based upon a large number of defaults occurring in US residential mortgages, there is a potential for additional requests for repurchases.
 
Claims against Barclays as an underwriter of RMBS offerings have been brought in certain civil actions. Additionally, Barclays has received inquiries from various regulatory and governmental authorities regarding its mortgage-related activities and is cooperating with such inquiries.
 
It is not practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the potential exposure in relation to Barclays US Mortgage activities.
 
Further details on contingent liabilities relating to Legal Proceedings and Competition and Regulatory Matters are held in Note 20 and 21 respectively.

20.Legal Proceedings
 
Lehman Brothers
 
On 15 September 2009, motions were filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (Bankruptcy Court) by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (LBHI), the SIPA Trustee for Lehman Brothers Inc. (Trustee) and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (Committee). All three motions challenged certain aspects of the transaction pursuant to which Barclays Capital Inc. (BCI) and other companies in the Group acquired most of the assets of Lehman Brothers Inc. (LBI) in September 2008 and the court order approving such sale (Sale). The claimants were seeking an order voiding the transfer of certain assets to BCI; requiring BCI to return to the LBI estate alleged excess value BCI received; and declaring that BCI is not entitled to certain assets that it claims pursuant to the sale documents and order approving the Sale (Rule 60 Claims). On 16 November 2009, LBHI, the Trustee and the Committee filed separate complaints in the Bankruptcy Court asserting claims against BCI based on the same underlying allegations as the pending motions and seeking relief similar to that requested in the motions. On 29 January 2010, BCI filed its response to the motions and also filed a motion seeking delivery of certain assets that LBHI and LBI have failed to deliver as required by the sale documents and the court order approving the Sale (together with the Trustee’s competing claims to those assets, Contract Claims). Approximately $4.5bn (£3.0bn) of the assets acquired as part of the acquisition had not been received by 30 June 2013 approximately $3.4bn (£2.3bn) of which have been recognised as a receivable on the balance sheet as at 30 June 2013. The receivable reflects an increase of $0.4bn (£0.3bn) recognised in profit or loss during the period, primarily as a result of greater certainty regarding the recoverability of $769m (£0.5bn) from the Trustee in respect of LBI’s 15c3-3 reserve account assets. On 16 July 2013, the Trustee paid this amount to Barclays. This results in an effective provision as of 30 June 2013 of $1.1bn (£0.7bn) against the uncertainty inherent in the litigation and issues relating to the recovery of certain assets held by institutions outside the United States.
 
On 22 February 2011, the Bankruptcy Court issued its Opinion in relation to these matters, rejecting the Rule 60 Claims and deciding some of the Contract Claims in the Trustee’s favour and some in favour of Barclays. On 15 July 2011, the Bankruptcy Court entered final Orders implementing its Opinion. Barclays and the Trustee each appealed the Bankruptcy Court’s adverse rulings on the Contract Claims to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (District Court). LBHI and the Committee did not pursue an appeal from the Bankruptcy Court’s ruling on the Rule 60 Claims. After briefing and argument, the District Court issued its Opinion on 5 June 2012 in which it reversed one of the Bankruptcy Court’s rulings on the Contract Claims that had been adverse to Barclays and affirmed the Bankruptcy Court’s other rulings on the Contract Claims. On 17 July 2012, the District Court issued an amended Opinion, correcting certain errors but not otherwise affecting the rulings, and an agreed judgment implementing the rulings in the Opinion (Judgment). Barclays and the Trustee have each appealed the adverse rulings of the District Court to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (Court of Appeals).
 
Under the Judgment, Barclays is entitled to receive: (i) $1.1bn (£0.7bn) from the Trustee in respect of “clearance box” assets (Clearance Box Assets); (ii) property held at various institutions to secure obligations under the exchange-traded derivatives transferred to BCI in the Sale (ETD Margin), subject to the proviso that BCI will be entitled to receive $507m (£0.3bn) of the ETD Margin only if and to the extent the Trustee has assets available once the Trustee has satisfied all of LBI’s customer claims; and (iii) $769m (£0.5bn) from the Trustee in respect of LBI’s 15c3-3 reserve account assets only if and to the extent the Trustee has assets available once the Trustee has satisfied all of LBI’s customer claims.
 
A portion of the ETD Margin which has not yet been recovered by BCI or the Trustee is held or owed by certain institutions outside the United States (including several Lehman affiliates that are subject to insolvency or similar proceedings). Barclays cannot reliably estimate how much of the ETD Margin held or owed by such institutions Barclays is ultimately likely to receive. On 7 June 2013, the Trustee announced that he was commencing additional distributions to former securities customers of LBI and would continue to make distributions until all customer claims have been fully paid.  On 2 July 2013, the Trustee notified Barclays that such distributions were “substantially complete.”  Pursuant to a Stipulation and Order dated 24 April, 2013, the Trustee had previously reserved $5.6bn (£3.7m) which was to be available to pay any amounts ultimately due to Barclays, including the $507m (£0.3bn) in respect of ETD Margin and the $769m (£0.5bn) in respect of LBI’s 15c3-3 reserve account assets. On 16 July 2013, the Trustee paid Barclays the $769m (£0.5bn).
 
The $3.4bn (£2.3bn) recognised on Barclays’ balance sheet as at 30 June 2013 is consistent with a scenario in which the District Court’s rulings are unaffected by future proceedings, but conservatively assuming no recovery by Barclays of any of the ETD Margin not yet recovered by Barclays or the Trustee that is held or owed by institutions outside the United States. In such case, to the extent Barclays recovers ETD Margin held or owed by institutions outside of the United States, the value of such recovered margin would therefore result in a gain to Barclays. However, there remains a significant degree of uncertainty with respect to the value of such ETD Margin to which Barclays is entitled or that Barclays may recover. In a worst case scenario in which the Court of Appeals reverses the District Court’s rulings and determines that Barclays is not entitled to any of the Clearance Box Assets or ETD Margin, Barclays estimates that, after taking into account its effective provision, its total losses would be approximately $6.0bn (£4.0bn).  Approximately, $3.3bn (£2.2bn) of that loss would relate to Clearance Box Assets and ETD Margin previously received by Barclays and prejudgement and post-judgement interest on such Clearance Box Assets and ETD Margin that would have to be returned or paid to the Trustee. Barclays is satisfied with the valuation of the asset recognised on its balance sheet and the resulting level of effective provision.
 
American Depositary Shares
 
Barclays Bank PLC, Barclays PLC and various current and former members of Barclays PLC's Board of Directors have been named as defendants in five proposed securities class actions (which have been consolidated) pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Court). The consolidated amended complaint, dated 12 February 2010, alleges that the registration statements relating to American Depositary Shares representing Preferred Stock, Series 2, 3, 4 and 5 (ADS) offered by Barclays at various times between 2006 and 2008 contained misstatements and omissions concerning (amongst other things) Barclays’ portfolio of mortgage-related (including US subprime-related) securities, Barclays’ exposure to mortgage and credit market risk and Barclays’ financial condition. The consolidated amended complaint asserts claims under Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. On 5 January 2011, the Court issued an order and, on 7 January 2011, judgment was entered, granting the defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety and closing the case. On 4 February 2011, the plaintiffs filed a motion asking the Court to reconsider in part its dismissal order. On 31 May 2011, the Court denied in full the plaintiffs’ motion for reconsideration. The plaintiffs have appealed both decisions (the grant of the defendants’ motion to dismiss and the denial of the plaintiffs’ motion for reconsideration) to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Oral argument was held on 18 October 2012.
 
Barclays considers that these ADS-related claims against it are without merit and is defending them vigorously. It is not practicable to estimate Barclays’ possible loss in relation to these claims or any effect that they might have upon operating results in any particular financial period.
 
US Federal Housing Finance Agency and Other Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities Litigation
 
The US Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), acting for two US government sponsored enterprises, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (collectively, GSEs), filed lawsuits against 17 financial institutions in connection with the GSEs’ purchases of residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS). The lawsuits allege, amongst other things, that the RMBS offering materials contained materially false and misleading statements and/or omissions. Barclays and/or certain of its affiliates or former employees are named in two of these lawsuits, relating to sales between 2005 and 2007 of RMBS, in which BCI was lead or co-lead underwriter.
 
Both complaints demand, amongst other things: rescission and recovery of the consideration paid for the RMBS; and recovery for the GSEs’ alleged monetary losses arising out of their ownership of the RMBS. The complaints are similar to other civil actions filed against Barclays Bank PLC and/or certain of its affiliates by other plaintiffs, including the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle, Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, Cambridge Place Investment Management, Inc., HSH Nordbank AG (and affiliates), Sealink Funding Limited, Landesbank Baden-Württemberg (and affiliates), Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank AG (and affiliates) and Stichting Pensioenfonds ABP, Royal Park Investments SA/NV, Bayerische Landesbank, John Hancock Life Insurance Company (and affiliates), Prudential Life Insurance Company of America (and affiliates) and the National Credit Union Administration relating to purchases of RMBS. Barclays considers that the claims against it are without merit and intends to defend them vigorously.
 
The original amount of RMBS related to the claims against Barclays in the FHFA cases and the other civil actions against the Group totalled approximately $8.7bn, of which approximately $2.6bn was outstanding as at 30 June 2013. Cumulative losses reported on these RMBS as at 30 June 2013 were approximately $0.5bn. If Barclays were to lose these cases Barclays believes it could incur a loss of up to the outstanding amount of the RMBS at the time of judgment (taking into account further principal payments after 30 June 2013), plus any cumulative losses on the RMBS at such time and any interest, fees and costs, less the market value of the RMBS at such time. Barclays has estimated the total market value of the RMBS as at 30 June 2013 to be approximately $1.6bn. Barclays may be entitled to indemnification for a portion of any losses. These figures do not include two related class actions brought on behalf of a putative class of investors in RMBS issued by Countrywide and underwritten by BCI and other underwriters, in which Barclays is indemnified by Countrywide.
 
 
Financial Statement Notes
 
Devonshire Trust
 
On 13 January 2009, Barclays commenced an action in the Ontario Superior Court (Court) seeking an order that its early terminations earlier that day of two credit default swaps under an ISDA Master Agreement with the Devonshire Trust (Devonshire), an asset-backed commercial paper conduit trust, were valid. On the same day, Devonshire purported to terminate the swaps on the ground that Barclays had failed to provide liquidity support to Devonshire's commercial paper when required to do so. On 7 September 2011, the Court ruled that Barclays’ early terminations were invalid, Devonshire's early terminations were valid and, consequently, Devonshire was entitled to receive back from Barclays cash collateral of approximately C$533m together with accrued interest thereon. Barclays appealed the Court's decision to the Court of Appeal for Ontario (Court of Appeal).  On 26 July 2013, the Court of Appeal delivered its decision dismissing Barclays’ appeal.  Barclays is currently considering its options with respect to the decision.  If the Court of Appeal’s decision were to be unaffected by future proceedings, Barclays estimates that its loss would be approximately C$500m, less impairment provisions recognised to date. Barclays has updated these provisions to take full account of the Court of Appeal’s decision.
 
LIBOR Civil Actions
 
Barclays and other banks have been named as defendants in class action and non-class action lawsuits pending in United States Federal Courts in connection with their roles as contributor panel banks to US Dollar LIBOR, the first of which was filed on 15 April 2011. The complaints are substantially similar and allege, amongst other things, that Barclays and the other banks individually and collectively violated various provisions of the Sherman Act, the US Commodity Exchange Act, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and various state laws by suppressing or otherwise manipulating US Dollar LIBOR rates.  The lawsuits seek an unspecified amount of damages and trebling of damages under the Sherman and RICO Acts. The proposed class actions purport to be brought on behalf of (amongst others) plaintiffs that (i) engaged in US Dollar LIBOR-linked over-the-counter transactions; (ii) purchased US Dollar LIBOR-linked financial instruments on an exchange; (iii) purchased US Dollar LIBOR-linked debt securities; (iv) purchased adjustable-rate mortgages linked to US Dollar LIBOR; or (v) issued loans linked to US Dollar LIBOR. The majority of the US Dollar LIBOR cases are consolidated before one United States District Court in the Southern District of New York. On 29 March 2013, that court issued a decision dismissing the majority of claims against Barclays and other panel bank defendants in six leading cases. Following the decision, various plaintiffs in those six cases have sought permission from the court to either file an amended complaint or appeal an aspect of the decision. These requests are still under consideration by the court. Other plaintiffs filed a new action in state court based on the same allegations. Defendants, including Barclays, have removed that action to federal court and are currently seeking to have it transferred back to the same judge who is handling the consolidated action. Additionally, a number of other actions before that same judge remain stayed, pending resolution of the various pending requests.
 
Until there are further proceedings and the various pending requests are resolved, the ultimate impact of this decision will be unclear, although it is possible that the decision will be interpreted by courts to affect other litigation, including the actions described below, some of which concern different benchmark interest rates.
 
An additional individual US Dollar LIBOR action was commenced on 13 February 2013 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Barclays and other banks. Plaintiffs allege that defendants conspired to increase US Dollar LIBOR, which caused the value of bonds pledged as collateral for a loan to decrease, ultimately resulting in the sale of the bonds at the bottom of the market. This action has been assigned to a different judge in the Southern District of New York, and is proceeding on a different schedule than is the consolidated action, with a motion to dismiss to be fully submitted to the court by the end of 2013.
 
An additional class action was commenced on 30 April 2012 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Barclays and other Japanese Yen LIBOR panel banks by plaintiffs involved in exchange-traded derivatives. The complaint also names members of the Japanese Bankers Association’s Euroyen Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate (TIBOR) panel, of which Barclays is not a member. The complaint alleges, amongst other things, manipulation of the Euroyen TIBOR and Yen LIBOR rates and breaches of US antitrust laws between 2006 and 2010.
 
A further class action was commenced on 6 July 2012 in the District Court against Barclays and other EURIBOR panel banks by plaintiffs that purchased or sold EURIBOR-related financial instruments. The complaint alleges, amongst other things, manipulation of the EURIBOR rate and breaches of the Sherman Act and the US Commodity Exchange Act beginning as early as 1 January 2005 and continuing through to 31 December 2009. On 23 August 2012, the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the complaint.
 
On 12 February 2013, a class action was commenced against Barclays and other EURIBOR panel banks by plaintiffs that purchased or sold a NYSE LIFFE EURIBOR futures contract. The complaint alleges manipulation of the EURIBOR rate and violations of the Sherman Act beginning as early as 1 June 2005 and continuing through 30 June 2010. The action is currently pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
 
Financial Statement Notes
 
In addition, Barclays has been granted conditional leniency from the Antitrust Division of the US Department of Justice (DOJ) in connection with potential US antitrust law violations with respect to financial instruments that reference EURIBOR.
 
As a result of that grant of conditional leniency, Barclays is eligible for (i) a limit on liability to actual rather than treble damages if damages were to be awarded in any civil antitrust action under US antitrust law based on conduct covered by the conditional leniency and (ii) relief from potential joint-and-several liability in connection with such civil antitrust action, subject to Barclays satisfying the DOJ and the court presiding over the civil litigation of its satisfaction of its cooperation obligations.
 
Barclays has also been named as a defendant along with four current and former officers and directors of Barclays in a proposed securities class action pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in connection with Barclays’ role as a contributor panel bank to LIBOR. The complaint principally alleges that Barclays’ Annual Reports for the years 2006 to 2011 contained misstatements and omissions concerning (amongst other things) Barclays’ compliance with its operational risk management processes and certain laws and regulations. The complaint also alleged that Barclays’ daily US Dollar LIBOR submissions constituted false statements in violation of US securities law. The complaint was brought on behalf of a proposed class consisting of all persons or entities that purchased American Depositary Receipts sponsored by Barclays on an American securities exchange between 10 July 2007 and 27 June 2012. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the US Securities Exchange Act 1934.  On 13 May 2013, the court granted Barclays’ motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety.  Plaintiffs’ motion for reconsideration of that dismissal was denied on 13 June 2013.  Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on 12 July 2013.
 
It is not practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the potential exposure of any of the actions described or what effect, if any, that they might have upon operating results, cash flows or Barclays’ financial position in any particular period.
 
FERC Investigation
 
See Note 21.
 
Other
 
Barclays is engaged in various other legal proceedings both in the United Kingdom and a number of overseas jurisdictions, including the United States, involving claims by and against it which arise in the ordinary course of business, including debt collection, consumer claims and contractual disputes. Barclays does not expect the ultimate resolution of any of these proceedings to which Barclays is party to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, cash flows or the financial position of the Group and Barclays has not disclosed the contingent liabilities associated with these claims either because they cannot reliably be estimated or because such disclosure could be prejudicial to the conduct of the claims. Provisions have been recognised for those cases where Barclays is able reliably to estimate the probable loss where the probable loss is not de minimis.

21.Competition and Regulatory Matters
 
This note highlights some of the key competition and regulatory challenges facing Barclays, many of which are beyond our control. The extent of the impact of these matters on Barclays and the impact on Barclays of any other competition and regulatory matters in which Barclays is or may in the future become involved cannot always be predicted but may materially impact our businesses and earnings.
 
Structural Reform
 
There is continuing political and regulatory scrutiny of the banking industry which, in some cases, is leading to increased or changing regulation which is likely to have a significant effect on the structure and management of the Group.
 
On 4 February 2013, the UK Government introduced the Financial Services (Banking Reform) Bill (Bill) to the House of Commons. The Bill will give the UK authorities the powers to implement key recommendations of the Independent Commission on Banking by requiring, amongst other things: (i) the separation of the UK and EEA retail banking activities of UK banks in a legally distinct, operationally separate and economically independent entity (so called ring fencing); (ii) the increase of the loss-absorbing capacity of ring-fenced banks and UK headquartered global systemically important banks to levels higher than the Basel 3 guidelines and (iii) preference to deposits protected under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme if a bank enters insolvency. The Bill also establishes a reserve power for the Prudential Regulation Authority to enforce full separation of UK banks under certain circumstances.  The Bill has completed its passage through the House of Commons and is currently before the House of Lords.
 
The Bill is primarily an enabling statute which provides HM Treasury with the requisite powers to implement the policy underlying the Bill through secondary legislation. On 8 March 2013, the UK Government published draft secondary legislation. The UK Government intends that both primary and secondary legislation will be in place by May 2015 and that UK banks will be required to be compliant by 1 January 2019.  
 
On 19 June 2013 the Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards (PCBS) published its final report on the UK Banking sector, which is expected to result in further changes to draft primary and secondary legislation. The PCBS’s report recommends, amongst other things: (i) a new “senior persons” regime for individuals in the banking sector to ensure full accountability for decisions made; (ii) reforms to the remuneration of senior management and other influential bank staff to better align risk and reward; and (iii) sanctions and enforcement, including a new criminal offence of reckless misconduct. The UK Government published its response to the PCBS’s report on 8 July 2013, in which it endorses the report’s principal findings and commits to implementing a number of its recommendations.
 
The US Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act is expected, amongst other things, to require the US subsidiaries of foreign banks operating in the US to be held under a US intermediate holding company subject to a comprehensive set of prudential and supervisory requirements prescribed by US regulators. The full impact on Barclays’ businesses and markets will not be known until the principal implementing rules are adopted in final form by governmental authorities, a process which is underway and is expected to take effect over several years.
 
On 2 October 2012 a high-level expert group chaired by Erkki Liikanen submitted a report (Liikanen Report) to the European Commission (Commission) on reform of the structure of the EU banking sector. The Liikanen Report contains five key recommendations, including the mandatory separation of proprietary trading and other high-risk trading activities (subject to thresholds) from deposit taking banks. The Commission is considering the impact of the Liikanen Report’s recommendations on growth and the safety and integrity of financial services in the EU, particularly in light of its current proposed legislative reforms, and will publish proposals on structural separation of banks in Q3 2013. Legislation is not expected to be finalised until 2015, at the earliest. The full impact on Barclays’ businesses and markets will not be known until principal implementing rules are adopted in final form by the Commission and other European legislative authorities.    
 
Interchange
 
The Office of Fair Trading, as well as other competition authorities elsewhere in Europe, continues to investigate Visa and MasterCard credit and debit interchange rates. The key risks arising from the investigations comprise the potential for fines imposed by competition authorities, follow on litigation and proposals for new legislation. It is not currently possible to predict the likelihood or potential financial impact of these risks on Barclays.
 
London Interbank Offered Rate
 
The FCA, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the SEC, the DOJ Fraud Section (DOJ-FS) and Antitrust Division (DOJ-AD), the Commission, the UK Serious Fraud Office, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the Japan Financial Services Agency, the prosecutors’ office in Trani, Italy and various US state attorneys general are amongst various authorities conducting investigations (Investigations) into submissions made by Barclays and other financial institutions to the bodies that set or compile various financial benchmarks, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR).
 
On 27 June 2012, Barclays announced that it had reached settlements with the Financial Services Authority (FSA) (as predecessor to the FCA), the CFTC and the DOJ-FS in relation to their investigations and Barclays agreed to pay total penalties of £290m in 2012. The settlements were made by entry into a Settlement Agreement with the FSA, a Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) with the DOJ-FS and a Settlement Order Agreement with the CFTC (CFTC Order). In addition, Barclays has been granted conditional leniency from the DOJ-AD in connection with potential US antitrust law violations with respect to financial instruments that reference EURIBOR.
 
The terms of the Settlement Agreement with the FSA are confidential. However, the Final Notice of the FSA, which imposed a financial penalty of £59.5m, is publicly available on the website of the FCA. This sets out the FSA’s reasoning for the penalty, references the settlement principles and sets out the factual context and justification for the terms imposed.  Summaries of the NPA and the CFTC Order are set out below. The full text of the NPA and the CFTC Order are publicly available on the websites of the DOJ and the CFTC, respectively.
 
In addition to a $200m civil monetary penalty, the CFTC Order requires Barclays to cease and desist from further violations of specified provisions of the US Commodity Exchange Act and take specified steps to ensure the integrity and reliability of its benchmark interest rate submissions, including LIBOR and EURIBOR, and improve related internal controls.  Amongst other things, the CFTC Order requires Barclays to:
 
·  
make its submissions based on certain specified factors, with Barclays’ transactions being given the greatest weight, subject to certain specified adjustments and considerations;
 
·  
implement firewalls to prevent improper communications including between traders and submitters;
 
·  
prepare and retain certain documents concerning submissions and retain relevant communications;
 
·  
implement auditing, monitoring and training measures concerning its submissions and related processes;
 
·  
make regular reports to the CFTC concerning compliance with the terms of the CFTC Order;
 
·  
use best efforts to encourage the development of rigorous standards for benchmark interest rates; and
 
·  
continue to cooperate with the CFTC’s ongoing investigation of benchmark interest rates.
 
As part of the NPA, Barclays agreed to pay a $160m penalty.  In addition, the DOJ agreed not to prosecute Barclays for any crimes (except for criminal tax violations, as to which the DOJ cannot and does not make any agreement) related to Barclays’ submissions of benchmark interest rates, including LIBOR and EURIBOR, contingent upon Barclays’ satisfaction of specified obligations under the NPA.  In particular, under the NPA, Barclays agreed for a period of two years from 26 June 2012, amongst other things, to:
 
·  
commit no US crime whatsoever;
 
·  
truthfully and completely disclose non-privileged information with respect to the activities of Barclays, its officers and employees, and others concerning all matters about which the DOJ inquires of it, which information can be used for any purpose, except as otherwise limited in the NPA;
 
·  
bring to the DOJ’s attention all potentially criminal conduct by Barclays or any of its employees that relates to fraud or violations of the laws governing securities and commodities markets; and
 
·  
bring to the DOJ’s attention all criminal or regulatory investigations, administrative proceedings or civil actions brought by any governmental authority in the US by or against Barclays or its employees that alleges fraud or violations of the laws governing securities and commodities markets.
 
 
Barclays also agreed to cooperate with the DOJ and other government authorities in the US in connection with any investigation or prosecution arising out of the conduct described in the NPA, which commitment shall remain in force until all such investigations and prosecutions are concluded. Barclays also continues to cooperate with the other ongoing investigations.
 
Following the settlements announced on 27 June 2012, 38 US state attorneys general commenced their own investigations into LIBOR, EURIBOR and the Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate.  The New York Attorney General, on behalf of this coalition of attorneys general, issued a subpoena dated 17 July 2012 to Barclays (and subpoenas to a number of other banks) to produce wide-ranging information and has since issued additional information requests to Barclays for both documents and transactional data. Barclays is responding to these requests on a rolling basis.  Barclays has also entered into confidentiality agreements with the coalition of attorneys general as well as a tolling agreement which is set to expire on 1 April 2014.

FERC Investigation  
 
The United States Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Office of Enforcement has been investigating the Group’s power trading in the western US with respect to the period from late 2006 through 2008. On 31 October 2012, the FERC issued a public Order to Show Cause and Notice of Proposed Penalties (Order and Notice) against Barclays Bank PLC in relation to this matter.  In the Order and Notice the FERC asserts that Barclays Bank PLC violated the FERC’s Anti-Manipulation Rule by manipulating the electricity markets in and around California from November 2006 to December 2008, and proposed civil penalties and profit disgorgement to be paid by Barclays Bank PLC. On 16 July 2013 the FERC issued an Order Assessing Civil Penalties in which it assessed a $435m civil penalty against Barclays Bank PLC and ordered Barclays Bank PLC to disgorge an additional $34.9m of profits plus interest (both of which are consistent with the amounts it proposed in the Order and Notice). In order to attempt to collect the penalty and disgorgement amount, FERC must file a civil action in federal court. Barclays intends to vigorously defend this matter.
 
 
Credit Default Swap (CDS) Antitrust Investigations
 
Both the Commission and the DOJ-AD have commenced investigations in the CDS market (in 2011 and 2009, respectively).  On 1 July 2013 the Commission addressed a Statement of Objections to Barclays and 12 other banks, Markit and ISDA. The case relates to concerns that certain banks took collective action to delay and prevent the emergence of exchange traded credit derivative products. If the Commission does reach a decision in this matter it has indicated that it intends to impose sanctions. The Commission’s sanctions can include fines. The DOJ-AD’s investigation is a civil investigation and relates to similar issues. Putative class actions alleging similar issues have also been filed in the US. The timing of these cases is uncertain and it is not possible to provide an estimate of the potential financial impact of this matter on Barclays.
 
Other Regulatory Investigations  
 
The FCA and the Serious Fraud Office are both investigating certain commercial agreements between Barclays and Qatari interests and whether these may have related to Barclays’ capital raisings in June and November 2008. The FCA investigation involves four current and former senior employees, including Chris Lucas, Group Finance Director, as well as Barclays. The FCA enforcement investigation began in July 2012 and the Serious Fraud Office commenced its investigation in August 2012.
 
The FCA provided its preliminary findings against Barclays on 27 June 2013 in respect of some of these commercial agreements.  Barclays has responded on 25 July 2013 contesting the FCA’s preliminary findings.   Barclays expects further developments in the near term.
 
In October 2012 Barclays was informed by the DOJ and the SEC that they had commenced an investigation into whether the Group's relationships with third parties who assist Barclays to win or retain business are compliant with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.  The DOJ and the SEC are also investigating the commercial agreements and the US Federal Reserve has requested to be kept informed of these matters.  
 
Barclays is co-operating with all the authorities fully. It is not possible to estimate the financial impact upon Barclays should any adverse findings be made.

22.Related Party Transactions
 
Related party transactions in the half year ended 30 June 2013 were similar in nature to those disclosed in the Group’s 2012 Annual Report. No related party transactions that have taken place in the six months to 30 June 2013 have materially affected the financial position or the performance of the Group during this period and there were no changes in the related parties transactions described in the 2012 Annual Report that could have a material effect on the financial position or performance of the Group in the first six months of the current financial year.

Barclays PLC Scrip Dividend Programme
 
Shareholders may have their dividends reinvested in Barclays shares by joining the Barclays PLC Scrip Dividend Programme (the Programme).  At the Barclays 2013 Annual General Meeting, shareholders approved the introduction of the Programme to replace the Barclays Dividend Reinvestment Plan. The Programme will enable shareholders, if they wish, to receive new fully paid ordinary shares in Barclays PLC instead of a cash dividend, without incurring dealing costs or stamp duty.  The Programme will initially be offered for the second interim dividend, to be paid on 13 September 2013, and for any dividends paid thereafter (subject to the Directors making the Programme available for each dividend).
 
For further details, including the full Terms and Conditions and information about how to join or leave the Programme, please visit Barclays.com/dividends or alternatively contact: The Registrar to Barclays, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex BN99 6DA United Kingdom, or by telephoning 0871 384 20554 from the UK or +44 121 415 7004 from overseas.
